Johnny Osbourne

The legendary JOHNNY OSBOURNE makes his comeback in 2023! In a career spanning more than half a century, it's as if he's had several lives: a privileged witness to the evolution of Jamaican music, he witnessed the birth of Reggae, Dancehall and then Digital. Punctuated by numerous hits such as the classic "Truth and Right", his career began in the 60s and has never ceased to evolve. For 2023, it's with a new album that he signs his big comeback! Produced by Baco Records and in close collaboration with musician STEPPER, this new project will thrill reggae aficionados.

The two artists got to know each other over a number of dates together, and naturally struck up a close friendship. When STEPPER decided to let JOHNNY OSBOURNE listen to some of his demos, it immediately struck a chord with this reggae tenor. That's how they set about creating "RIGHT TIGHT TIME", featuring original tracks and revisited classics, surrounded by the crème de la crème of the FRENCH CONNECTION BAND! STEPPER also called on MAEL "LOEIZ" DANION to co-produce the album. The result is delightful: 10 tracks of sunny, swinging melodies, each more uplifting than the last, 10 tracks whose lyrics and JOHNNY OSBOURNE's explosive energy manage to sweep us along on an ultra-positive wave!

Dub Squad

Bringing together the energy of a live band and the power of a sound system. It was this desire that prompted REGGAE MYLITIS to create this 100% LIVE DUB show. After 10 years as a backing band for a host of reggae artists, DUB SQUAD was born in Grenoble, a hotbed of French sound system culture. 5 seasoned instrumentalists provide the signal for the DUB OPERATOR, who uses his console and special effects to produce magic in real time. Big basslines, foot tapping, big skanked delays, saxophone and percussion on a bed of spring reverb - that's what's in store for anyone standing in front of the wall when the Squad is in town. From Classic Tunes to Original Compositions, this live show on Sono will take you on a journey through all the colors of Dub.
