Uitsmijter op Musica Mundo, Jampara & The Batalions, maakt er een groot feest van.
Met deze uitsmijter heeft ArteGanza bij het festival op zaterdag 23 juni a.s. een groot feest binnengehaald. Bij deze groep zal het onmogelijk zijn stil te blijven staan.
Met enige trots presenteren we de groep:
Jampara & the Batalions, The band started getting shape at the end of ’93, Jampara and Aston ‘Family man’ Barett, the leader of the legendary Wailers, started talking about forming a new reggae band. Soon Jampara was looking for a bass player, and was lucky to find one in the form of Robby Skipper. The Battalion as a band was born.
Originally the band existed of five people, Ras Jampara as the lead singer and solo guitar, Robby Skipper on bass guitar and as ‘chief in command’, Captain Anthony rhythm guitar, Professor Moha on drums and War Watanga as the lead guitarist. Now the Batalion performs mostly with 8 to 10 musicians, with changing additions to the core of the band. The Batalions first gig was a double bill with Burning Spear at the Paradiso in Amsterdam (Netherlands) in 1995.
