A tribute to Bob Marley from Boutin Neal, Jamaican by birth and a Montrealer by adoption, who, for the last 20 years, has taken us to the roots of reggae culture. With a hybrid style that incorporates gospel harmonies with elements of Soul, R&B, and Nayabighi (folkloric Jamaican singing and percussion), INUS ASO is a pure tropical delight! www.inusaso.com |
