The end result is an infectiously joyful vibe that is sweet music to the ear. It’s easy to literally get lost in this music, and dancing along is a foregone conclusion! But the magic of this track, lays deeper than the surface. In its making, this music unites nations!
The powerful track is produced by Jamaican-based Pot of Gold Productions and Italian-based Adriatic Sounds. The lyrics were written by Stephens, while the music was composed by Raffaele Leo. Jamaica’s Bongo Herman adds percussive elements, while Italy’s Fossa ‘Drummer’ Miglietta and Luca Manno work their magic on drums and sax respectively. Jamaica is the root…Richie Stephens & the Ska Nation is the fruit…enjoy!
