JATTA RECORDS
Jatta Records is the record label that produces and records music from reggae artist Taj Weekes. This St. Lucian songwriter, poet, storyteller and musician speaks of life, love, poverty, faith and spirit. His group, Adowa, is an eclectic musical brew of Caribbean cultures that has backed such artists as Burning Spear, The Meditations, Eek-a-Mouse, Third World, Nasio Fontaine and Aswaad. To date, the label's music catalogue consists of the critically acclaimed debut album, Hope & Doubt, hailed as one of the best reggae releases of 2006 and DEIDEM, their sophomore CD released in August 2008, through a distribution deal with Spectra Records in the U.S., Canada and Asia and in the United Kingdom and Europe under a distribution agreement with Afrikool/SONY DADC. This much anticipated release has already surpassed the critical acclaim of Hope & Doubt and has introduced the group to a larger global audience. In the future, Jatta Records will produce and record other reggae artists.
