The title of the compilation album released in November is perfect: "Crucial Reggae". For the Jamaican rhythm, few artists are as crucial as Desmond Dekker. He has been recording music for nearly forty years until his death in may 2006. He was the first Jamaican artist to be treated as a superstar and make success in the UK. Desmond was one of the pioneers of the parents and skinhead reggae. It was mentioned in songs by various musicians over the years, as they did in The Beatles song "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da". This collection is simply irresistible, with classics like "007 (Shanty Town)", "Israelites" and ten other hits. A classic.
