BASEMENT ROOTS
It's been 14 years now since the Reggae band Basement Roots was born out of a schoolyard idea. Since then, the Lucerne-based group has been on the road almost non-stop. Carrying in their bags: The experience from over 200 concerts in all thinkable corners of Switzerland, in France, Germany, but also in Senegal and in Ghana.
With great devotion, the band takes its authentic homage to the Jamaican 60s and 70s out into the world. What really makes Basement Roots, however, are the intimate, loving friendships within the band that have developed over all these years and can be felt far beyond the edge of the stage.
WALK ON (EP)
After the LP "Experience" (2018) recorded in Tübingen and the EP "Cherry Eleven" (2021) produced in-house during the coronavirus pandemic, Basement Roots are now back with another release. After the successful tour in Senegal (2019), the band travelled to West Africa again in summer 2022. In the Ghanaian capital Accra, Basement Roots not only played concerts, but also recorded the "Walk On" EP. These three songs are a testament to the musical diversity that characterises the band.
The ska number "Free Tonight", which was released as a pre-release single, makes a mark that can not only be heard, but also seen.
