Clatta Bumboo (Roots Government, Black River Sonics)

On this episode I speak with reggae artist, Clatta Bumboo. In our conversation we cover what music meant for him as he was growing up in Jamaica, how Foundation Mondays at The Parlour impacted and inspired his career, and what he's looking for Rhode Islanders to do to better understand the importance of reggae music. We also get a little tip into what Clatta has on the horizon to pull our music community together.

Interlude song order:

• "We Are The Chosen (Steppa Style)" with Natural Element Live at The Parlour Providence (audio credit: Steve Neves)
• "Break The Chains" from his EP Catalysis - Miles Deep In The Attic
• "Mother's Prayer" from his EP Future Water
