🎺🎶🌍🇨🇺🇯🇲🇬🇧🎵 He was born in Havana, grew up in Jamaica before finally settling in England. Trombonist Rico Rodriguez – who passed away in 2015 – played with everything reggae and ska has to offer. Toots & the Maytals, Burning Spears, Linton Kwesi Johnson, The Specials… And in the end, he recorded relatively little under his own name, in comparison. Two albums for Rico & his Band. Including this one, the second, released in 2001, Get Up Your Foot. And I can guarantee you that, yes, you will get up your foot! An avalanche of brass for these instrumental covers of reggae, rock steady, mento and ska. It’s groovy, it’s hot, and you can’t resist it.
