After a year of waiting, singer Donovan Banzana finally saw the release of his album “Quiet Riot” in early December. A seasoned campaigner, he knows the tough work has just begun.
“Quiet Riot” is produced by drummer Desi Jones of Chalice fame.
“What we are looking at now is promotion. We have the product; we just need the machinery to take it where it needs to go,” said Banzana.
“Quiet Riot” is Banzana’s fourth album. His previous efforts were done for Island Records, the first being “World Power” in 1989.
His link with Island came through Lawrence Lindo, the producer famously known as Jack Ruby who directed Burning Spear on his seminal “Marcus Garvey” album for that company.
Banzana began work on “Quiet Riot” shortly after returning from East Africa in 2017. He spent seven months in Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia, recording songs and doing shows.
Last year, Donovan Banzana contributed “It’s Magic” to the “Night Nurse Riddim” album produced by bassist Flabba Holt of the Roots Radics Band.
