Dennis Bovell

London, UK

Dennis Bovell's youthful exuberance belies a long and distinguished career taking in some surprisingly far-flung corners of the music industry. Responsible for more-or-less inventing the lovers rock sound with the three-part harmonies of Matumbi, Dennis went on to produce some of the defining records of British reggae. But as well as his work with artists like Linton Kwesi Johnson and Janet Kay, Dennis also produced classic records in punk (The Slits), rock (Orange Juice), afrobeat (Fela Kuti), electronics (Ryuichi Sakamoto), and just plain old pop (Bananarama!). Still as busy as ever, Dennis still found time to recall for us how an immigrant from Barbados became involved in Jamaican music, and also detail the downside also detail the the constant exploitation common in reggae and other downsides of this industry. Bovellissimo!
