Junior Dell & The D-Lites vs. Green Smätroll
The ska and reggae sensation Junior Dell & The D-Lites is returning to Prague after their triumphant debut! Joining them with killer Jamaican rhythms are the veterans of the Czech scene, Green Smtroll.
Junior Dell is a rising star on the Jamaican music scene and a key artist of the British label Original Gravity. Videos from his debut performance at Prague’s legendary Klub 007 caused a well-deserved stir in the ska and reggae community. A live recording from that concert even made its way onto BBC6. During his second visit to the continent, Junior Dell will headline several festivals dedicated to ska and reggae. Prague audiences will get the unique chance to experience his blend of traditional sound and contemporary British energy in an intimate club setting. His band, packed with experienced Czech musicians, will also feature Neil Anderson, head of Original Gravity Records. Expect not only original songs but also unexpected covers, from House of Pain and Oasis to Depeche Mode.
The good vibes will continue with Green Smätroll, Czech veterans of ska-jazz. Last year, they made a remarkable comeback with their polished album Carousel of Pain, which received glowing reviews. At the album launch, they proved they’re in top musical shape. Now, the two bands are joining forces to throw a night for local fans of offbeat rhythms that will be one to remember. As is tradition in Malostranská beseda, the event will feature DJs at the bar and all the essentials for a proper ska-reggae party. Get ready—this is going to be a Good Friday in every sense of the word!
