RICO RODRIGUEZ レコード& CD

Review: Emmanuel 'Rico' Rodriguez was a British ska and reggae trombonist who was brought up in Jamaica and put out 19 albums from 1969 onwards. Up there with the best of them is Man From Wareika which has been reissued many times over the years and this time out comes on lovely translucent gold vinyl. His style of reggae is swaggering and sun-kissed, with lazy trombone leads bringing character to each tune and plenty of neat organ work and natty melodies layering in extra musical vibes. This is regarded as a classic of the genre for good reason.
