Bringing together over 50 of Jamaica’s greatest session musicians, whose work spans from the birth of reggae in the late 1960s until today, Roots Architects is the largest gathering of Jamaican musical talent on one all-instrumental album. Never before have so many veterans, who helped create the immortal rhythms that made reggae internationally successful, been assembled to play on new material without vocals. This project aims to celebrate and pay tribute to the unsung heroes of reggae music: the rhythm builders or Roots Architects.

Before releasing the full album, due out April 2024, this new single gives you a taste of what’s coming your way. Legends back together in Kingston studios doing what they do best: creating instrumental music all together! ‘Memories of Old’ pays tribute to the rocksteady era. You’ll be delighted by Ernest Ranglin’s guitar solo and Tyrone Downie’s organ solo.
B side features a version expertly mixed by Roberto Sánchez!
