<I>"I've been looking for that person
or group who could give me the same
goosebumps that Bob (Marley)
gave me and I tell you that it's only
found in Groundation." </I><BR>

GROUNDATION is an original 10-piece Roots Reggae band
featuring a full horn and backing vocal section section. <P>
Saying that Groundation is a Reggae band is merely scratching the surface. While capturing the essence of true Roots Reggae, Groundation aims to take the genre to a new height by blending elements of both jazz and dub in their sound. It is said that if you don't know your past, you don't know your future; well Groundation knows its past, and they're stepping into the future. By combining roots classics with originals their shows become a lively celebration where audience and band are one.

National Critics and Independent Press have responded, calling Groundation "champions of the true sound." LA's Sound Spectrum states, "the lyrics cry to our generation just as Bob Marley did in his... their future in the world of Reggae music is groundbreaking." Jammin' Reggae Archives praised their most recent studio album "Each One Teach One" calling it "one of the most satisfying roots reggae albums of the last five years--from any country."
