Dukes Of Roots has a new single “Try Happy” (Migration Records) with Natiruts. The song was the first written and recorded for the upcoming Dukes Of Roots project. It was later revisited by LionChld to include the Brazilian reggae roots band Natiruts. “Try Happy” is an uplifting tune about getting happy.
Dukes Of Roots spent some time in Brazil working with Natiruts on “Try Happy.” Reflecting back, they comment, “Alexandre has been so much fun to work with. He is an incredible talent and such a kind person. We had many laughs on the beach days in Brazil leading up to the recording session. The Natiruts studio and engineers made the recording session easy and professional. We hope to be back again someday soon to do more work together.”
This is the second single release from the Dukes Of Roots’ upcoming album, due out next year.
Dukes Of Roots is composed of well-known musicians and artists who’ve come together to celebrate roots reggae music. The ensemble includes Congolese singer Mermans Mosengo; Jamaican bassist George “Fully” Fullwood; Courtney Diedrick, also from Jamaica, on drums; producer Sean Diedrick on keyboards; and T Rod on guitar.
