Spear, Steel Pulse, Black Uhuru, The Gladiators et bien d’autres. Un
son roots, deux chanteurs qui mélangent les voix ou alternent le lead
vocal, des compositions en anglais et en français font son style.Aujourd’hui

bars, cafés-concerts, MJC, tremplins ou festivals locaux qui lui
permettent d’avoir une solide expérience de la scène et une image
résolument « roots » auprès des amateurs.Constituée de 7 musiciens,

Mohamed-basse, Dominique-guitare, et Moundy-percussions), la formation

classiques du reggae se mélangent.Le premier CD du groupe, intitulé
« Jeunesse », entièrement autoproduit et composé de 7 titres originaux

2003.http://metissereggaesite.free.fr
