Cañaman
Fronteras (Spain)
$17.99
Produced in Jamaica by Sly and Robbie (who also play on the occasional track), they certainly have the credentials. But Cañaman is a reggae band from Spain with their own approach and their own sound. Guests include Capelton, Marcia Griffiths and Baba Tandeh.
'Genuine roots reggae Espanol!' says fRoots

| "Spain's Canaman can count themselves among the adventurous roots-seekers, the strength and reach of their latest CD testifying to the fact that it was worth the trip. The opening track (save for a brief and unpleasantly tinny intro) is the anthemic "Canaman Reggae," which praises the joy of, among other things, "canta marihuana." Indeed, the liner note closeup photos of ganja being blissfully consumed are as blunt and defiant as the militant reggae Canaman crank out." - Tom Orr, RootsWorld |
The bands says:
It is very rare that an album from a Spanish reggae band has been so well received as has this last album by CAÑAMAN. For some years now, they have been the representatives of the reggae scene in Spain. Their entire album “FRONTERAS” was recorded in Kingston (Jamaica) and was produced by none other than Sly & Robbie. Furthermore the exclusive collaborations of Anthony B, Marcia Griffiths, Sly & Robbie and prophet, The king of fire, The Fireman... Capleton give this album its special touch. The ‘Fiesta Rasta’ video-clip featuring Capleton will no doubt be televised on “ reggae” programmes world-wide on its release.
“FRONTERAS” has been nurtured and cared for until the last detail with the intention of placing this talented band in an important position both nationally and internationally. Their hard work and dedication, as well as, the prime collaborations are factors adding to this possibility. Nice Time, label established in Jamaica and dedicated to reggae, is responsible for production and Boa co-produced it.
“FRONTERAS” is an album which illustrates an ample diversification of styles starting from “foundation riddims”, “new roots” to “dancehall” sounds that obviously open up minds and objectives of unconditional followers of this music from the Caribbean. The album transmits its positive vibes throughout. The mere fact that this release was recorded in Jamaica means that everything positive about this unusual and powerful island is latent in the album.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
