The
Lions is a unique Jamaican-inspired outfit, the result of an impromptu
recording session by members of Breakestra, Connie Price and the
Keystones, Rhythm Roots All-Stars, Orgone, Sound Directions, Plant
Life, Poetics and Macy Gray (to name a few). Gathering at Orgone's
Killion Studios, in Los Angeles during the Fall of 2006, they created
grooves that went beyond the Reggae spectrum by combining new and
traditional rhythms, and dub mixing mastery with the global sounds of
Ethiopia, Colombia and Africa. The Lions also added a healthy dose of
American-style soul, jazz, and funk to create an album that’s both a
nod to the funky exploits of reggae acts like Byron Lee and the
Dragonaires and Boris Gardner, and a mash of contemporary sound
stylings.
