Akuphone present the first compilation dedicated to musician
John Bolloten
, aka
The Rootsman
. As a precocious punk, he formed his first band,
State Oppression
, in his teens. Yet he is best known for his dub music, a genre that gave him international recognition. Largely influenced by the rhythms of North Africa and the Middle East, he built his musical identity around samples from these regional repertoires. His encounter with
Bryn Jones
-- better known as
Muslimgauze
-- further defined his artistic path. This selection offers an overview of his work from 1996 to 1998, a prolific period when
Into The Light
(1996),
52 Days To Timbuktu
(1998),
Union Of Souls
with
Celtarabia
(1998) and
Distant Voices
with
Pachakuti
were released. A visionary production that predicted today's growing international predilection for the musical heritage of the MENA regions. The compilation is enriched with an explanatory preface by
Mabrouk Hosni Ibn Aleya
and illustrated with rare archival photos. Jacket design by
Ghiya Haydar
.
