Caribbean contributions to British arts and culture are profound and everlasting, particularly through the music brought by the Windrush generation. As the first Caribbean settlers stepped foot on the shores of Albion, millions of Brits were introduced to roots music and sound system culture. In the 1970s, along the coast of Southend-On-Sea, the Purssord brothers—enthralled by the legendary sounds of Jah Tubbys, Channel One, and Jah Shaka—immersed themselves in the world of reggae.
�This deep-rooted passion was soon passed down to their young prodigy, Charlie P, their son and nephew. Charlie’s musical journey begins with the sounds of Dennis Brown, Hugh Mundell, and Ranking Dread echoing through his family home. From his early stage performances with the Goldmasters Allstars to his involvement in the sound system universe, Charlie’s foundations are strongly embedded in roots music. After over a decade of perfecting his craft and earning the title of dub controller, Charlie P now reconnects with his roots through “Roots”, an album that celebrates the essence of pure, introspective, undiluted reggae. Staying true to the genre’s traditional blueprint, the album’s compositions—co-written by Rico O.B.F and Charlie P—are meticulously brought to life by a full live band. Recorded at London’s Room-In-The-Sky studio, the credits feature a stellar lineup that includes Horseman on drums and Megahbass on bass guitar, delivering a sound that’s both fresh and authentically raw.
