King Kong - Repatriation
King Kong - Repatriation
King Kong alongside Irie Ites on the pulsating Repatriation.
Sampler
Big and bad Jamaican dancehall giant King Kong broke big in 1986 with the superb Red Rose combination Two Big Bull In A One Pen for King Tubby. It was followed by several strong singles and albums, including Trouble Again for King Jammy. But from the late 80s King Kong kept a low musical profile for about two decades.
In past years he has however been productive. In 2013 he dropped the album Ethiopian Dream and last year the showcase set In the Old Capital Vol. 1 was released. And a few months ago he put out Repatriation, an album produced by France’s Irie Ites.
Repatriation is pulsating dancehall with a contemporary twist and musicians include giants like Sly & Robbie, Russ D and Bongo Herman along with guest artists such as the gravel-voiced Burro Banton on the soon to be classic Old School.
Irie Ites’ productions are always well above par and Repatriation is no exception. Another killer album.
Repatriation was released on March 2th, 2018 and is available from Irie Ites on LP, CD and digital download.
