A versatile ensemble playing the history of Jamaican music
A blend of ska, rocksteady and reggae, this is an upbeat and deep island rhythm.
This album by Lance Thelwell and His Celestials symbolizes the diversity of the Jamaican music scene at the time. The light-hearted groove created by a variety of instruments brings the listener to a relaxed and happy mood. While centered around instrumentals, the passionate spirit and sophisticated technique evident throughout the album speak volumes of their talent.
