Description

On November 11 2017, Roots Crew Soundsystem will host for the first time in Cyprus the legendary selector Ras Digby (UK) for a night of Roots Reggae music.

Ras Digby has been involved into sound system culture for over 40 years. As a member of Sir Jessus Sound System (1964-1981) he helped make it one of the most outstanding sound systems of west London. The crew’s strong links with Jamaican producers such as Blacka Morwell, Dudley ‘Ja Man’ Swaby, Channel One, and even Bob Marley and the Wailers kept the Sound ahead of the pack with an inexhaustible supply of exclusive dub plates. In 1974, a stockpile of hot material led to the launch of their own record label, named also Sir Jessus. After 1981 Ras Digby continued his musical journey that includes radio presenting on Beat FM and RJR Radio, as well as singing and songwriting. He still remains perpetually active as selector and toaster on the sound system circuit worldwide with Roots and revival selections.
