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 brothersenthralled by the legendary sounds of Jah Tubbys, Channel One, and Jah Shakaimmersed themselves in the world of reggae.�This deep-rooted passion was soon passed down to their young prodigy, Charlie P, their son and nephew. Charlies 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, Charlies 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 genres traditional blueprint, the albums compositionsco-written by Rico O.B.F and Charlie Pare meticulously brought to life by a full live band.
