"Shy Man" was recorded in 2015 during Kiko Bun's transformative trip to Jamaica. The session took place at the legendary Shengen Studio in Kingston, the creative hub of international reggae heavyweight Alborosie, who produced and mixed the track. Kiko Bun (Federico Marin) chose the title of his debut EP, Come Again, as a tribute to the Jamaican studio culture he witnessed, where vocalists would shout "come again" to signal another take. The song features authentic organic instrumentation, including heavy bass and sweet, melodic brass riffs that evoke the spirit of Studio One classics. If you enjoy the smooth vibes of Bob Marley or Dennis Brown with a fresh contemporary twist, this is the track for you! Don't forget to Like, Follow, and Share for more high-quality reggae music.

Experience the powerful spiritual vibrations of "Guide Us Jah," an undisputed masterpiece of UK Roots Reggae by the legendary band Matumbi. Released in 1977 as a 12" single on Matumbi Music Corp and later featured on their seminal 1978 album Seven Seals, this track remains a cornerstone of the British reggae movement. Led by the visionary producer and guitarist Dennis Bovell (also known as Blackbeard), Matumbi combined traditional Jamaican roots sensibilities with high-fidelity UK production. "Guide Us Jah" is a poignant prayer for spiritual deliverance and strength. The lyrics, "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak," reflect the Rastafarian struggle against the metaphor of "Babylon" and the historical trauma of captivity. While the band was famous for hits like "Point of View," "Guide Us Jah" showcased their deeper, more meditative side, featuring Bevin Fagan’s soulful lead vocals and Bovell’s signature fluid guitar lines. The track was originally recorded in late 1977, during sessions that transitioned the band from Trojan Records to EMI’s Harvest label The sessions were held at Berry Street Studio in London, a legendary hub for independent and reggae artists of the era. Produced by Matumbi, the track features Eaton "Jah" Blake on bass, Jah Bunny Donaldson on drums, and Webster "Scratch" Johnson on keyboards. Whether you are a longtime fan of the British reggae scene or discovering the "Matumbi sound" for the first time, "Guide Us Jah" is an essential listen for anyone seeking music with soul, purpose, and deep bass.
