With "Nothing In The Larder", Black Roots creates another original set of tracks and brings in some ofthe best musicians based in the UK. Together they bring a new sound, despite the narrow confines of rootsreggae. The message is strong, coherent and relevant in today's world of pandemic inequality, racism anddiscrimination. Uncertainty and global distrust reign due to the world's politicians, whose objective is toreduce individual freedoms and to submit populations to their will. It is in this context that Black Rootsuses, as usual, roots reggae to get his message across. In "Enlightenment", the group calls us to seebeyond reality and to rise spiritually, the message is carried by beautiful layers of brass, which reinforcesthis impression of escape.Through the reggae melodies of "Nothing in the Larder", the band provides a timely reminder that wemust continue to promote equality, justice and open-mindedness.
