-Studio live chat, wid friendly Rock Reggae Dub crew, Raspect, anticipating next Friday, 17 April, local event Iberic Riddim Connection – presenting for the 1st time in Portugal, Seville’s (and Spain’s) new Roots Reggae sensation, El Bazar Orchestra!
Merging wid dis studio chat, the usual highlight to new releases, presents Burning Riddims, Bazar Orchestra’s 1st studio release!

Inspired by the best Jamaican classics tradition from Burning Spear, IJahman, Bob Marley or The Skatalites, Bazar Orchestra got were born around 2007, and since the beginning were a surprising mixup of Ska, Reggae and Dub, blessing their hometown Seville, and Andalucía, wid great live acts.
As time passed by, the version from Jamaican classics that passion dem by Jamaican music, were normally replaced by original themes, presented over 2008 in many live gigs in Spain, France or Switzerland!

A true live band, dat makes justice to its ‘orchestra’ name, Bazar Orchestra´s original Roots reggae took over Andaluziz in 2008, winning the prestigious 6º Concurso de bandas de música ‘El Encuentro’ in Seville.
By the same time, they released their latest studio work, Burning Riddims, a perfect evidence of the quality and originality of dis collective!

Pure intervention roots reggae over tunes like The Wall and Catch the Truth; a perfect rockers/steppers interpretation in Skisound riddim, or the roosty rocksteady Nice Times; supplemented wid tow creative dub versions, make Burning Riddims; one of best alike ‘demo tapes’ releases wid have ever heard!

High standards all over the tunes going to the horns arrangements, dat together wid the keys, supply Bazar Orchestra sound wid a revival sound, well placed in Jamaican oldschool, a musical movement growing strong all over Spain, dat now arrives to the south through Bazar Orchestra!
Wid a praised usual true live bands philosophy, Burning Riddims was made available for all, wid free download at their myspace - www.myspace.com/elbazarorchestra – Check it!
