Alborosie

Alborosie will be at Artefact La Laiterie Strasbourg on April 30, 2026. A singer, musician, arranger and producer of Italian origin based in Jamaica, he has forged an analog sound that draws on the tradition of roots reggae and sound system culture. His lyrics, balancing consciousness and spirituality, sit alongside a sonic palette that freely navigates dub, dancehall and rub-a-dub—without unnecessary effects, just the essentials of machines and instruments.

Surrounded by his band, the Shengen Clan, he takes the stage to trace the milestones of his career, from the early tracks that brought him to light, such as “Kingston Town” and “Herbalist,” to more recent material, including the landmark album Soul Pirate. His voice shifts from rough toasting to broader sung lines, serving precise arrangements and a groove sculpted for live performance. A perfect opportunity to assess Alborosie’s imprint on contemporary reggae, between roots foundations and dub excursions, with that analog touch that makes the difference.
