The natural affinity between Joe Camilleri and Nicky Bomba is apparent not just in their music but their general conversation; they are both obviously enthused by their new project together and have great respect for each other musically and personally.
The project is the CD 'Limestone', borne of the duo's mutual Maltese heritage and love of reggae and released on their own Transmitter label.
The collaboration is an inspired one as reggae's historic and spiritual roots are considered to be Ethiopian, not to mention the mutual Mediterranean heritage of all the artists.
