LITTLE PEPE & SHABU LANZAN SU SPLIT ALBUM – LITTLE PEPE & SHABU RELEASING THEIR SPLIT ALBUM
English version below…
Los cantantes malagueños LITTLE PEPE y SHABU, dos de las voces más originales y comprometidas del Reggae en español, lanzan juntos su primer disco en formato ‘split álbum’, de ahí su título “Compartiendo”. Este trabajo, compuesto de 15 cortes y producido íntegramente por el también malagueño RAS JOUQMAHI, lo edita GERMAICA IBERIA, la filial española del prestigioso sello europeo de reggae GERMAICAN RECORDS, y lo distribuye BOA MUSIC.
Además de ser el primer disco para dos artistas cuyo éxito ha radicado hasta ahora en un particular fenómeno de fans con base en internet, estamos ante el primer trabajo de estas características en la escena del género reggae en nuestro país: dos voces melódicas, con letras cargadas de mensaje, sobre las composiciones musicales de un productor multiinstrumentista que tras largos años de experimentación ha logrado forjar un sonido fresco e inconfundiblemente propio.
“Compartiendo” tiene una estructura bastante simétrica, tanto en forma como en contenido. En cuanto a la distribución de los cortes, el disco se abre con la intro, única pista en la que aparecen juntas ambas voces, que da paso a 14 canciones, 7 de Shabu y 7 de Little Pepe, dispuestas alternativamente. Este aparente orden simétrico se desvanece cuando nos adentramos en el universo orgánico y policromático del disco escuchado como unidad, cargado de detalles, florituras y sutilezas.

English version:
LITTLE PEPE & SHABU – hailing from the Andalucían Málaga – two of the most original and promising voices of Spanish Reggae, announce their first official album release. It comes as a a split album called “Compartiendo” (“Sharing”). All 15 tracks were produced by also Málaga-based RAS JOUQMAHI and edited by GERMAICA IBERIA, the recently created Spanish sub-branch of the prestigious European Reggae label GERMAICAN RECORDS from Leipzig/Saxony. The distribution will be handled by the Spanish No.1 in Urban music BOA.
Apart from being the first release for both artists, whose success was rooted until now in a particular good response from the internet fan-community, we find ourselves in front of the very first work with the characteristics of a split album in Spain: two melodic voices singing conscious lyrics with deep messages upon musical compositions from a producer “multi-instrumentalist” who after years of experience has created a fresh and distinctive sound.
“Compartiendo” counts with a well balanced and symmetric structure, regarding both format as well as content. The opening intro is also the only combination of both singers, followed by 14 more tracks, 7 of each singer (sometimes on the same rhythm track), in an alternate order.
This appearently rigid frame blurs away once inside the organic and polichromatic universe of the album, listening to it as an undividable unit, charged with countless subtile decorative ornaments.

LIQUID – Germany’s tuffest voice. U can’t kill LIQUID! Native son of Germany’s “Steel City” Salzgitter he was one half of the underground Hardcore duo BACKYARD CREW and this way responsible for tunes way ahead of the time and of course due to their explicit content cause for a lot of controversy right at the turn of the millenium in their home country. A year ago he re-started voicing for PIONEAR and launched his solo career. Now contrary to the Patois he used before to perform LIQUID is rapping in his native German tongue. Style and versatility plus uncompromising lyrics are the trademark of this German Classic Dancehall artiste… No link up available since him way too underground Fari…
