Soul Defenders

Soul Defenders

Soul Defenders has been played on NTS shows including Equiknoxx, with Still Calling first played on 11 July 2019.

Soul Defenders, one of the finest backing groups to ever come out of Jamaica. The Soul Defenders were comprised of several talented musicians from the Linstead, Jamaica area and formed around 1968. Joseph Hill, or ‘Culture' as he was known, served as the band's sometime lead vocalist, frequent backing vocalist, percussionist and songwriter. The group came to Coxsone Dodd's famed Studio One institution in 1971 and immediately began recording and backing the finest of Jamaican singers, among them Dennis Brown, Burning Spear, Alton Ellis, Freddy McKay, The Heptones and The Abyssinians. Not only did the Soul Defenders back these singers, but they graced the songs that have helped to define these singers and the reggae genre in general, including Freddy McKay's "Picture On The Wall," Dennis Brown's "No Man Is An Island" and The Abyssinians' "Declaration Of Rights."
