AT LONG LAST, ROCKAMOVYA HAS NOW BEEN OFFICIALLY RELEASED!!!
When was the last time a "Supergroup" lived up to its billing?
Rockamovya brings together long time Jazz-heavyweight, Grammy nominated Will Bernard (Stanton Moore trio, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Motherbug), the incomparable Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace . (Burning Spear,The Abyssinians, the cult film classic "Rockers") and Ryan Newman (bass), Marcus Urani (organ/keys/piano) and Harrison Stafford (rhythm guitar/vocals) of the internationally acclaimed Cali-based
Reggae-Fusion group Groundation
for what will surely be a genre-defying classic of an album.
The expansive and altogether new sound Rockamovya
emits is due in large part to the inter-generational links the album
has created. Whether its Horsemouth's 1960's era steppers rhythms,
Bernard's 1970's inspired jazz-funk licks, or the wholly unique 21st
century roots sound of Groundation, Rockamovya reaches across
demographics and genres to entice and enthrall listeners of any and
every tribe.
Rockamovya hits stores and online June 17th, 2008; Pre-release copies available at
www.Rockamovya.com .
