Soul-Skasteady & Rocksteady Soul reggae on both sides of this split vinyl album by ARTE BELLA & THE FELLAS and TIGHTEN UP!
Eight instruments, three languages, one love of music: that's ARTE BELLA & THE FELLAS
Inspired by a musical spectrum ranging from The Skatalites to Etta James and Manu Chao, the Berlin band has set out to delight your hearts, comfort your souls and, of course, get your legs dancing with their special soulful ska fusion.
Respect the roots - enjoy the fruits! Wherever you are - let's do the ska! With the turn of the year 2021/22 the band Tighten Up sees the light of day.
The seven musician friends from Dresden and Berlin have known each other for many years and have been active together in the bands Mola (soul & funk) and Yellow Cap (ska & rocksteady).
The enthusiastic Yellow Cap singer convinced the six other musicians of his vision of an `Early Reggae & Rocksteady' band, which initially focusses exclusively on Jamaican and British cover songs from the 60s and 70s.
And it's time for Tighten Up to impress with their extremely danceable and energetic music and bring back a long-forgotten era.
