On ne connaissait pas et on est tombé direct d'accord avec cet équilibre entre Reggae Roots tel que les Wailers ont su faire et un Joe Yamanaka revendiquant la Synth Pop emblématique des années 80 japonaise ! Prenez le temps d'écouter, un album de très bonne facture qui méritait une réédition digne de ce nom afin qu'il parvienne jusqu'à nos oreilles !

Joe Yamanaka, born in Yokohama, was of mixed descent. His father was a US Army soldier who hailed from the Caribbean. He played Psychedelic Rock with the Flower Travellin' Band. He was also a philanthropist, travelling around the world to help people in countries where conditions aren't great. He himself was raised in harsh conditions as well, being born in a brothel and growing up in an orphanage. In post-war Japan, it was not easy for him to grow up looking racially different from his peers.
Joe Yamanaka joined The Wailers after Bob Marley had passed away and recorded with them 'Reggae Vibration'.
The very first track is also called 'Reggae Vibration' and can be seen as his introduction to the genre, being a Rock artist in his home country. You will still hear a strong Rock influence in his songs.
'Reggae Vibration' was Recorded And Remixed At Tuff Gong Studios, 56 Hope RD Kingston Jamaica, In April 14th 1982 ~ April 30th 1982
