There is a big reggae cloud hovering over Cottbus.
It´s in the middle of the night and our small city Cottbus changes into a blazin´ town.
Often it´s quite but sometimes you can listen to the heavy basslines hammering out of a small club.
People were forced to dance with us to Chant Daun Babylon all the night.
If you enter the club you can see the two selectas of Chant Daun playing reggae and dancehall music for an IRiE massive all night long...
The mighty Lion is roaring out of the blazin´ town...
Everything started when Black Terra was 14 years old.
In 1999 he took a holiday on Jamaica.
For the first time he touched the sound and feeling of such a small island in the West Indies.
Actually he was a Dj for Hip Hop music but he began to occupy with reggae and dancehall.
Black Terra was fascinated of the ideology of rasta and the mighty power of music. Started with words, power and sound, which shall Chant Daun Babylon, about the faith in Jah, up to the idea of the One Love.
He was fascinated in everything.
It was only a matter of time, that he completely specialised on reggae and dancehall.
Then in the beginning of 2004 it came to the fateful meeting with other half of the soundsystem - Smokie.
The man for roots reggae has been learning the Dj´s engineer since the beginning of the musical project.
Because of the provided tricks and pinches from more experienced Black Terra Smokie has been standing regularly on his side and has been forming therefore the perfect supplement in the set since March 2005.
Chant Daun, the mighty Lion from di East, was born...
