Mcanuff, Nadia -& The Ligerians-
Shelter From The Storm
Launched by the legendary Jamaican producer Linval Thompson, with titles like "Words of I mooth" or "Catch dem", Nadia Mc Anuff is a free, rebellious, feminist, tortured spirit, sometimes punk, sometimes mystical... She never hesitates to think outside the box, trying her hand at pop with the Canadian group "Agape", claiming boundless admiration for Nina Simone, practicing the nayabinghi drum normally reserved for men in Jamaica. The influence of his illustrious father Winston "Electric Dread" surely has something to do with it. Above all, she does not hesitate to denounce taboos, such as unpunished sexual abuses and crimes in certain Rasta communities... But its reggae that flows in her blood. And his meeting with one of the best groups in the field - the French "The Ligerians" - will mark a turning point in her career. A meeting initially at a distance, during the pandemic, which gave rise to the excellent single "Lockdown", then a first visit to Europe, the recording of a very promising EP, leading to the album "Shelter from the storm"
