Groundation es una banda de reggae que destaca del resto debido a su trabajada instrumentación, producción y composición de su música. Gracias a unos músicos eperimentados en el jazz, la banda se nutre fuertemente del sonido del órgano Hammond, la batería jazzera y la más que característica voz, apoyados de elementos clásicos del reggae de los años '70 como los vientos y los coros femeninos. Empezaron en 1998 en California (USA) y cuentan con seis discos de estudio y uno de remezclas dub.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
