Album Reviews

Review: 

Uprooting is the Warsaw Village Band's boldest venture yet. The ensemble invited representatives of traditional Polish folklore to join them in the recording studio they also forged contacts with two dub-sound and scratch specialists. In view of this unusual blend of elements and epochs, the Warsaw Village Band's motto for Uprooting, comes from Reggae hero Burning Spear, "Remember the past, but keep it livin' in the future."
