Order CD: raslutazamowienia@gmail.com
Ras Luta and Pionear started working together exactly 15 years ago in February 2005, when recording for Poland’s first ever Reggae & Dancehall compilation “Polski ogień”, released by Warner Music Polska the following year. Followed by productions for Luta’s band project “EastWest Rockers” and his first solo effort “Jeśli Słyszysz” the both coming full circle now with an entirely custom made album played by Pionear’s studio band The Germaicans. You might ask why a Reggae album now? Because it’s not so much about trends and number of streams, but rather about two stubborn musical friends paying tribute to “their” music!
The release’s lyrics shed light on observations and experiences made by Ras Luta when looking at his musical career and general life. Thus the overall impetus is that of a “grown up” classic Reggae album. The title track “Lepsze dni” , “Masz w sobie siłę ft. Junior Stress”, “Dom w chmurach” all are vivid testament to Luta’s love for Roots Reggae and prove his excellent songwriting. Still the album holds surprises, with trappy “Zimny kamień” and of course the niyahbinghi-r’n’b-power-ballad-hybrid “Szadrach, Meszach & Abednego” and it’s unique ‘spiritual’ feel.
The previously released singles “Stop”, “Rozdarty” carrying more of a pop song structure. The third single “Mój ogień” and “Jak na początku” are both relicks of Jamaican classic riddims. In case you wondered if there is an “off” track you should definitely check out the Two-Tone-Ska stomper “Szarzy ludzie”. Finally “Prosty rim” is not only a hommage to the glorious 90s in Dancehall music but also the new single which heralds the album release on February 21st 2020!
To seal what will be probably the most important Polish Reggae release of the year mastering was provided by platinum certified Sascha “Busy” Bühren (Peter Fox, Seeed) from Berlin / Germany.

The last Germaica release of the decade is as well the first official Mavado remix of a German producer to date. Furthering their remix catalogue The Germaicans studio band gave Mavado’s single “Life Blanket” a Reggae remix treatment, making the Gully Gad flow over a 90s inspired beat incorporating even mixes.
The result is Vado seeminlessly blending into the Reggae world. Beautiful keyboard lines compliment the hard working riddim section and saxophoniste Johanna Järemo’s licks put the icing on the cake leaving one with the wish for an entire Mavado Reggae album!

Exactly 20 years ago on 09/09/1999 GERMAICA was founded. We like to take the opportunity to thank everybody involved, all colleagues, artistes and producers who contributed, all people who supported the label and all sounds, DJs and Selectors who played and pushed our releases.
To celebrate label style we decided to re-release the complete back catalogue of MESSER BANZANI – the pioneering Ska & Reggae band from East Germany and predecessor of GERMAICA. It was this band where cousins and then vocalists PIONEAR & TOM started producing riddims and evolved the idea of building a platform for fellow artistes like GENTLEMAN to make their first steps and to support SEEED soon after. In case u never know it was MESSER BANZANI – renamed THE FAR EAST BAND – serving as backing band for the “Journey to Jah” years of the Cologne SingJay.
The MESSER BANZANI ANTHOLOGY consists of all 5 studio albums of the band plus a sixth volume with remixes, edits and bonus tracks. Enjoy this authentic piece of German Reggae history for the first time available in digital format for streaming and download!

Zapraszamy do odsłuchania kolejnej odsłony kooperacji, Niemieckiego producenta - instrumentalisty PIONEARa, odpowiedzialnego za obsługę artystyczną, oraz produkcje m.in. takich światowej sławy wykonawców, jak SEEED, GENTLEMAN, czy TANYA STEPHENS, które osiągnęły status platynowych i złotych krążków, oraz RAS LUTY, muzyka od ponad dekady związanego z polską i europejską sceną Reggae, mającego na koncie nagrody pism branżowych, występy na największych festiwalach muzyki reggae i nie tylko, oraz prestiżowe duety z artystami takimi jak KRZYSZTOF KRAWCZYK, SIDNEY POLAK, POKAHONTAZ, HEMP GRU i in.
Początki współpracy obu muzyków sięgają roku 2006, kiedy RAS LUTA został zaproszony na album wydawany przez GERMAICAN RECORDS oraz nieistniejący już label TAMTAM RECORDS pt. ”Polski Ogień” który eksplozją rozpoczął drugą falę zainteresowania gatunkiem Reggae w naszym kraju. Po sukcesie wspomnianego krążka RAS LUTA i PIONEAR spotkali się przy produkcji solowego debiutu polskiego rastamana - wydanego przez Prosto ”Jeśli Słyszysz”.
Obaj muzycy łączą ponownie siły, by stworzyć najnowszy, trzeci solowy album RAS LUTY, a niniejszy singiel, tym razem w melancholijnym, jesiennym klimacie za który odpowiedzialni są członkowie grupy THE GERMAICANS, jest najlepszym dowodem na to, że jest na co czekać!
