03/20 - Christophe Rigaud & The High Reeds "Sounds of Life" official release 11/05/2015 - High Reeds / IWelcom

I Must confess that i was not aware of this GREAT Group !
Founded in 2011 by Christophe Rigaud, whose origins / influences are Lyon / Island of Guadeloupe and Ivory Coast - they've bring a breath of fresh air to the French Music Scene.
In 2012 came out their 1st EP "See the River", in consequence of the rage reviews they've opened shows from the GREATS like The Wailers, Max Romeo, Morgan Heritage, Tarrus Riley, etc.
After several appearances became urgently / necessary the recording of their debut album, the chosen studio in Jamaica was neither more nor less than the mythical Harry J, together with Stephen Stewart and Samuel Clayton Jr (Steel Pulse).
The result is a fresh album, notoriously Roots Reggae, some rocksteady-soul, and of course some Blues influences.
A disc that has the stamp of quality Reggae Portugal.

To be released next 11th of May 2015.
