Groundation performed an amazing set at Dry Diggings 2022 and Daily Reggae Photo Editor, John Rouse, took these epic photos of the band coming together before they hit the stage, and of frontman Harrison Stafford jamming on guitar!

Since its inception in 1999, Groundation has brought to the reggae community an immense catalogue of quality recorded music that blends genuine and heartfelt roots reggae with jazz influenced compositions and instrumental performances. As is the case for many of the albums we have reviewed thus far, Groundation's wonderful new album "One Rock" was born from the fires of the pandemic.

Dailyreggae.com caught up with Groundation’s Harrison Stafford to learn about the fabulous new Groundation album, “One Rock”, released today by Easy Star Records. Harrison reflects on the album’s inspiration, working with reggae legends like Israel Vibration, The Abyssinians, and The Congos, and his musical influences.

Ahead of the band’s tenth studio album, Groundation has released the irie Original Riddim featuring Israel Vibration and The Abyssinians, via France’s BACO Records and Easy Star Records. The album titled One Rock will drop this May and will feature nine new songs. We cannot wait!

Mauritian artist Blakkayo released a new double album, Soz Serye, on March 12, 2021. The album, sung primarily in French, is the reggae musician’s first album release since 2009’s Love n Respect.
