Ancient Blood - Tribal Seeds

ANCIENT BLOOD – TRIBAL SEEDS

February 24, 2024Posted inAlbum Reviews, Entertainment, Features, Miscellaneous, ReggaeNo Comments

Tribal Seeds dropped Ancient Blood, their fifth studio album, on February 9, 2024. They have also released two EP’s and a live album throughout their career. A lot has changed since the release of their debut album Youth Rebellion in 2005, but Ancient Blood is truly a breath of fresh air. Kicking off with Bondage featuring The Twinkle Brothers, you can feel the energy building up through the thick bass lines. It also sets a theme for some of the features on the album, as there is a heavy presence of Jamaican artists showcased. The second track, One Time, features Romain Virgo. Hector Roots Lewis (Dusk Till Dawn) and Hempress Sativa (Wicked & Riled) are also Jamaican artists that are featured on this album.

          I had the amazing opportunity to interview El Dub (Lee Walsh) looping artist, and one man band. We talked about his latest album, as well as life during a Nationwide Pandemic due to the Covid-19 Virus. El Dub, whom has kept a very heavy touring schedule for years, has long been blessing the world with his amazing music. Music that is filled with messages of peace, love, positivity, healing and family. If you have never heard of El Dub, I highly suggest you get yourself familiar. However, the real magic, is to catch him live and watch the master at work. He’s known to change his music style to best fit the crowd he is playing for, making him an extremely versatile artist as well. For now, you can catch him on his weekly stream via his Facebook page El Dub Music (details below). Enjoy the interview!
