THE MUSIC
Augustus Pablo is recognized the world over as one of Jamaica's greatest instrumentalists and record producers. His Rockers label, like Sly and Robbies' Taxi label, has been at the forefront of reggae's musical experimentation. Yet no other artist in Jamaica can boast of fame based on an unusual proficiency playing one of the lowliest musical instruments, the melodica. When, in 1972, the instrumental Java was released, this bizarre plastic flute made Horace Swaby AKA Augustus Pablo a household name in Jamaica. To mail order the CD, which includes an additional eight Augustus Pablo tracks, please read the bottom of this page.
