One of the sadly unsung, talented constellation of Jamaica's veritable music
Ambassadors, the VITAL ROOTS BAND was formed with the most congenial members
the law would allow, back in 1983 in St. Ann, Jamaica, a Parish that
produced a caldron of talent including the Prolific Bob Marley, Burning
Spear and others.
In
1992 the Band embarked on a musical journey through Europe and the rest of
the world as Opening Act and Backing Band with some of Reggae's luminaries
such as Frankie Paul, Charley Chaplin, Iqulah to name a few. Currently based
in Zurich, Switzerland, the band has settled and made a name for themselves,
thanks to their depth of musicality, passion for the music and charismatic
stage presence.

The
Band's music clearly reflects the love for humanity regardless
of their ethnic
background and pays homage to
life and their
individual influences generally and musically. The main
reason
Vital Roots is such a sonorous force to reckon with stems from the
fact that each member has acquired a wealth of experience over
the years in
separate projects Recording, Performing or Touring.

The VitalRootsBand has been busy
recording their eagerly awaited debut album which should hit the streets by
the end of 2002. With all the individual influences carefully imbued in each
track coupled with the blooming sensitivity that their playing share, its a
gross understatement to say it will be widely accepted. The Vital Roots Band
has consistently pleased patrons at every event, wetting the palettes with
infectious rhythms, catching chorus lines and leaving everyone in awe. The
prospect is looking bright and for the Vital Roots it's just the beginning.
