He's co-founded two outstanding bands, One Ring Zero and Chicha Libre, he's currently working on Broadway as the accordionist for Fiddler On The Roof, and in his spare time he's put together a brand new 31-song double LP as C.A.M.P.O.S.

Tiken Jah Fakoly | Racines
ARTIST: Tiken Jah Fakoly
TITLE: Racines
LABEL: Wrasse
My favorite reggae album of 2015 is now getting a proper USA release. Tiken Jah Fakoly of Cote D’Ivoire is one of Africa’s leading reggae artists; his roots sound and conscious lyrics (usually in French) are a throwback to mid-to-late 70s Jamaica, his creamy harmonies and punchy attack are pure African reggae.
