With "Nothing In The Larder", Black Roots creates another original set of tracks and brings in some of the best musicians based in the UK. Together they bring a new sound, despite the narrow confines of roots reggae. The message is strong, coherent and relevant in today's world of pandemic inequality, racism and discrimination. Uncertainty and global distrust reign due to the world's politicians, whose objective is to reduce individual freedoms and to submit populations to their will. It is in this context that Black Roots uses, as usual, roots reggae to get his message across. In "Enlightenment", the group calls us to see beyond reality and to rise spiritually; the message is carried by beautiful layers of brass, which reinforces this impression of escape. Through the reggae melodies of "Nothing in the Larder", the band provides a timely reminder that we must continue to promote equality, justice and open-mindedness.
