KIDDUS I - The Salmon '2024

Tracks list

THE SALMON is the project of a legendary trio of "soul men" brought together to
celebrate a long friendship, musical freedom, and creativity. Inspired by the
original sounds of reggae, country, blues, and soul, they swim upstream like
salmon, against clichés and norms. Their journey delights us and transports
us to distant, soothing landscapes that reconnect us with the essentials: the
love of music. The group consists of three friends with well-established
careers: Kiddus I, the reggae legend with an enchanting voice, the "Last Crooner
on Earth," hero of the 1977 film Rockers, and a member of the Inna De Yard
project; Bazbaz, a French pianist singersongwriter with nine albums to his
credit; and Tchiky, an outstanding guitarist who has been accompanying De La
Soul for about ten years. After a first EP released in 2020 featuring the tracks
"Enough is Enough" and "The Long Road," and a pandemic later, The 10 Salmon
finally resurfaced in January 2022 from the hills of Kingston, where the trio,
finally reunited, will make Jamaica vibrate alongside seasoned musicians, both
French and Jamaican, such as Delroy Wormbass, Viryane Say, Sly Dunbar,
Christianne Prince, Pam Hall, Fabrice Colombani, Fonso, Yann Cléry, David
Hadjadj, Flabba Holt, and Style Scott. Their first album is a pure
FrancoJamaican gem imbued with the native land of reggae and reflects the trio's
desire to return to the roots of their inspirations. Music is Love... or it is
nothing!
