Description

[Machine Translation] A new revolution that overturns the equation of "authentic = correct"! GACHAPAN RECORDS, the most popular Japanese label in Jamaica, has released a collection of masterpieces! <This equation is absolute for those who are involved in black culture music such as REGGAE and HIP HOP in Japan. However, black culture music, especially REGGAE music, was created in Jamaica, a small island country, and has been influenced by various foreign countries. It has been influenced by Mento, Ska, Rocksteady, Roots, Dancehall, and now Hip Hop and Electro music. And in Japan, the influence of REGGAE music has been changing with these influences. There have been artist albums and compilation albums released by various Japanese artists within the reggae genre. Some are produced with an awareness of the currents of the mainstream scene, some are produced without regard to the currents of the times, and some incorporate elements of both. All of them can be called "reggae. However, there is a Japanese who threatens the equation "authentic = correct" that I mentioned at the beginning of this article. That is GACHAPAN RECORDS. They create and produce their own riddims in Jamaica, work with a number of leading Jamaican artists, and their songs are played heavily on street dance and popular radio programs. Japanese people from the other side of the world are working with artists as well as producers in Jamaica, and their music is heard on the streets of Jamaica. Of course, their music is not limited to Jamaica, but is also played by world-class selectors and DJs such as MIGHTY CROWN, DAVID RODIGAN, MAJOR LAZER, and many others. Anyone who knows black culture music will understand what an achievement this is. The trend has been imported back into Japan, and has had a great impact on the scene. Their first compilation album is "THIS IS GACHAPAN," featuring PIANO REMI of KONSHENS [OUT THE GHETTO], who made GACHAPAN's name known both in Japan and abroad.
