In August of 2023, after a couple of years of not playing reggae, Iván Lee felt the urge to go back to it. Undusting some old recordings and starting to listen to Lee "Scratch" Perry´s voice again opened the gate for inspiration to flow. Laying down basic piano rhythms over drum tracks played by Winston "Horseman" Williams, new songs started to emerge. August seemed to be a fertile month and riding that wave Chimurenga Renaissance came into the studio to collaborate on several tracks of the album, adding mbira, percussion, and guitars plus Tendai "Baba" Maraire´s sharp raps. Just some days later the dancehall legend Lady Ann laid down the vocals for the great "First Lady of Dancehall" track, making the album gain strength and purpose. Recorded between London, New York and Buenos Aires this album has a start studded lineup of musicians and collaborators. Upsetter Kids Forever is the title of Iván Lee´s debut album and it comes from a studio session during which Lee scribbled these words on to Ivan´s jacket. "Years later while working on the album I realized that we were all Lee fans, everyone involved in making this music has been touched and inspired by him."
