When Maka T moved up to Norfolk he linked up with a young sound, CULTURE VIBES, who his youngest brother, Militant Youth, had already been moving with...and Rebel Lion was born. Over the last 10 years we have worked hard to help (re)build up a thriving roots community in Norfolk through community events, festivals, radio shows, and regular sessions. During this time we have been fortunate to have worked some of roots musics best singers, bands and sound systems stretching to all parts of the globe - Iration Steppas, Roots Ting (2001 UK Dub Cup Champion), I&I Oneness, Natty Frontline (legendary selector from Sufferah Sound, Sir Coxsone Outernational and Frontline International), Sister Rasheda, Roots Commandments (Germany), Caveman International (Jamaica), King Shiloh (Holland), Earl Sixteen, Sandeeno, Tena Stelin, Horace Andy and Lee “Scratch†Perry to name a few.
The music policy is tight – conscious roots & culture – from it's beginning with Studio One to the latest Upfront Roots..JA to UK....but strictly Roots. The message of the music is fundemental – no slackness, hatred, ism or skisism....pure positivity – musical education with a love vibration.
The conscious message of the music, the roaring bass and the sweet live vocals give Rebel Lion an unmistakable flavour. Raw roots reggae music to make you jump and skank to your hearts content.
