DENNIS BOVELL, from Barbados, based in London, England, is a legend - a bass player legend (band leader of the legendary
Linton Kwesi Johnson Band) - a producer legend (THE SLITS, Fela Kuti, Bananarama, Madness, Joss Stone, a.o.). He
produced the soundtrack for the critically highly acclaimed movie Babylon and the hit song "Silly Games" by Janet Kay.

community, set btw 1969-82.
In 2019 Vienna's Dubblestandart produced a limited selection of reworks of reggae classics of Dennis Bovell's 1980's
band Matumbi, Steel Pulse, Burning Spear, Twinkle Brothers, Culture a.o. , focusing on works that have been pivotal for
the inspiration of Dubblestandart's bandleader Paul Zasky.
