THE LIONS is the result of an impromptu recording session including members of Breakestra, Connie Price and the Keystones, Rhythm Roots All-Stars, Orgone, Sound Directions, Plant Life, Poetics and Macy Gray (to name a few). They gathered together at Orgone's Killion Studios in Los Angeles to lay down some Jamaican inspired tracks. The grooves created that day went beyond the Reggae spectrum combining JA rhythms and dub mixing mastery with the global sounds of Ethiopia, Colombia, and Africa.
One of the many gems includes a Rock-Steady, horn heavy version of Lyn Collins' THINK, arranged by Todd Simon (Quantic Soul Orchestra, Antibalas, Sound Directions, Keystones, etc.) which features guest vocalists Noelle Scaggs (The Rebirth) and Black Shakespeare (I & I Sound System). Dan Ubick aka Connie Price, contributes with a vocal version of his classic Roots instrumental SWEET SOUL MUSIC featuring guest vocalists Alex Desert and Deston Berry from HEPCAT.
THE LIONS are an example of the ever-growing musical family found in Los Angeles. Believe it or not, but there is a vibe to be found in the spread out, artificial, Hollywood land of LA. Many of the LIONS met through the LA staple rare groove outfit BREAKESTRA and have stayed within many projects together throughout the past 10 years.
