YAMI Bolo is one of many artists who were mentored by roots visionary Augustus Pablo. Fitting, then, that on his return to the United Kingdom after 10 years, he performed alongside Pablo’s son Addis.
Bolo and Addis Pablo’s Suns of Dub group (which includes Trinidadian singers Jah Bami and Ras Jammy) did six shows in the UK, which took place in Newcastle, Nottingham and London.
The main event was Kulchasplash on Easter Monday at the Electric Brixton club. Anthony B and Jah9 were also on the card.
“Things went down well, everyone was well-received,” said Bolo.
Bolo, Hugh Mundell, Junior Reid and Junior Delgado are just some of the acts who recorded for Augustus Pablo, one of reggae’s most creative producers and musicians.
Pablo died in 1999.
