I Anbassa presents:  Babylon By Bus (Bob Marley Tribute)

Each February, a special collaboration comes together to celebrate the music of Bob Marley near the date of his birth by performing an album in its entirety.  This year, Bob Marley’s live album “Babylon by Bus” will be the focal point.  The group will also dip into Dennis Brown’s extensive catalog (as his birthday is in the same week) as well as some of I Anbassa’s original tracks. This year’s players, based from MA to NJ, in addition to fielding their own projects, have backed many reggae greats, including Burning Spear, Mykal Rose, Anthony B, Sister Nancy, Johnny Osbourne, Da'Ville & Warrior King, among others.      

The lineup:

Ras Ngosi - vocals, rhythm guitar (I Anbassa)

Big Dread - lead guitar (Warrior King, Da'ville, Anthony B) 

Ian Cooper Pettys - vocals, percussion

Robin Setal - bass (Burning Spear) 

Burnie T - drums (Mykal Rose, Sister Nancy)

Jay Metcalf - keyboards (Johnny Osbourne)
