JAH ROOTS - DUPPY MEETS THE CONQUEROR

This is the first DUB from the Dubroom with recordings from the band JAH ROOTS. The music is played by musicians who have played together for over a decade, no loops or programming, and dubbed by Messian Dread in the Dubroom.

In Jamaica, the land where Reggae originated from, a "duppy" is the name given to an evil spirit that is haunting people, making them crazy and so on. Bob Marley has sung a song about them called "Duppy Conqueror".

This Jah Roots track ofcourse isn't a cover from the Marley track, although the title is a bit similar. The similarity goes beyond the title, too, because conscious dreads don't deal with the duppies, they just chase them away in the Name of the Messiah. And then, when the Conqueror comes, the duppies must go. We have seen it many times and we've seen it during the recording sessions in which this track came to existance too.
