In Focus: Tenor Saw

London, 29.03.24

With Tenor Saw

Ring the alarm! A cornerstone artist of early ragga and dancehall, Kingston's Tenor Saw lived up to his name, possessing one of the most instantly recognizable voices in the Jamaican musical canon. His experiments with electronic production in the early and mid-eighties were crucial to the development of the digidub style.
