Roots Archives Forum

by the way who actually owns roots archives? i don't think i've ever had the pleasure of speaking to them. Also how long has the website been going? i've been using the site i guess for about 5yrs anyone remember when it began?
And whats that about having roots in San Diego?
i've been trying to find out if anyone knows of Rasta Vibration radio in San diego? dj called rootsman? are they still online?

yes. Azania in Africa.

and the cover to Azania was designed by Yvonne Gold

Rally Rally Round

it's a 12". At least 100 copies were pressed. I designed and hand screen printed the covers in my bedroom in Brixton. Anyone know where Gus Anyia is?
He must still be making music somewhere

i'm sure Gus has been mentioned on this thread, wasn't he the guy who was living in London who does Karate? or am i getting mixed up.
I'm sure u will find out more info if u read the whole thread, i think someone mentioned what all the members where now doing...

I think you are thinking of Horace McKenzie who lives in London, he actually has a black belt in Karate, last I heard of Gus was he was playing with Gaspar Lawall's band, but that was a long time ago.

hi alvin
nice to see you on the forum again
i really wonder who is going to make the first step.
soebody tell me:who can hook up with some producer and let him know that time is right for dambala to come back together again?

i think u right alvin, i was thinking of Horace.

I'm a Dambala fan too. Bought the LP Azania back in the 80's and wear a Dambala t-shirt when I was a youth. Still have it. Long time ago. Re-uniting Dambala would be great, but seems to be impossible (?).

Anyways.
Kees Klavers, dutchman, bass player and producer of Azania, at the Mok Studios (Breda Netherlands) is still active in music and art.
He was also the p.a. man for the gigs of Dambala and Barry Ford (Merger).
On his website I saw that he collaberated for the last time in '96 with Gus Anya.
Probably he can tell where to find Gus.
