New Generation Series

TABOU1 is proud to present “Roots Natty”, a treasure trove of rare tracks by one of Reggae’s most iconic groups, The Gladiators. These magnificent songs were recorded with the cream of Jamaica's musicians during Reggae's golden era, from 1977 to 1979, when the genre was shaping global music culture.

Most of the 11 tracks in “Roots Natty” are rare Jamaican singles previously unavailable on LP or digital files. Originally released in small batches in Jamaica, these singles, most of whom were mixed by the legendary Errol T, sound harder, heavier and more dub-infused than versions available in the West. They have been carefully restored and remastered, preserving their raw, authentic energy.
