Silence is the King ... Mother Music is the Queen

About Me

**a few words in english at the bottom**
Wareika Hills s'est formé en 2003 par hasard, au Roots bar (bon présage), Grenoble. On a joué intensément pendant une année pour aboutir à l'enregistrement de cet album maison. On est tous d'horizons très divers, toutes générations, mais quand un groupe s'unit autour d'une musique, il est Un. On a tous chargé le son avec nos propres vibrations. L'amour passe chez nous par l'expression dans le reggae roots. Wareika Hills c'est une colline autour de Kingston où l'un des pères du reggae, Count Ossie, a permis à cette musique du coeur de germer. Aucune volonté de faire comme, juste l'envie de faire résonner ce nom qui renvoit aux sources, à la réalité, à l'esprit originel du reggae forgé dans la spiritualité.. On est heureux de partager avec tous cet esprit : "Love heights". Le titre est venu tout seul avant même de savoir qu'on allait enregistrer cet album chez notre ami Ivan, dans son petit chalet fait par la main de son père, à quelque 1600 m d'altitude, sans route. Lavage dans la rivière, sessions nyabinghi, fils et micro couvrant le bois de la baraque, franche connection avec la nature partout autour. Les hauteurs de l'amour.
International music
Here is our band, formed in 2003 by chance in Grenoble, Alps. Our name is meaning to echo Count Ossie's original spirit of reggae. We try, with our difference, to ride on this same spiritual stream that gave birth to this hearted music we call roots reggae. Enjoy this and spread it all around. Thanks for listening to these songs from the mountains, recorded deep into the nature, far from any road, high, Love Heights ! Blessings
