| | 3am Interview: DUB WISERS - AN INTERVIEW WITH ABA SHANTI |
 | | Blood Shanti, a calm, gentle and taciturn figure with years and years of experience in the UK roots reggae scene since 1977 or so, in sound system culture and with bands/singers such as African Head Charge, Sugar Minnot, Johnny Clarke, I Jahman Levi, was concerned more specifically with the "sound mechanics" and musical vibes. |
 | | All Shanti sound members exuded a calm and optimistic atmosphere, leaving no doubt that they "walk it as they talk it." We drank and ate in the calm darkness of the studio, which became misty with spirals of heady smoke as time passed. |
 | | Blood Shanti passed around some impressive creased and aged fl and white photographs of his early years as a drummer in UK roots outfits from the late 70's, years of strife and riot in London in the fl community against oppressive police tactics. |
