Revivals and reunions are often excuses for desperate musicians to relive past glories. NOT SO with “Zap Pow Again”. The 2016 incarnation of pioneering Reggae group Zap-Pow is anything but a group of desperate musicians. Founding member Dwight Pinkney, OD, and original members Glen DaCosta, Richard Johnson and Leebert Gibby Morrison plus an all-star line-up of young talented singers and players of instruments Geoffrey Star- vocals, Everol Wray-Trumpet , Fiona Forrest- backing vocals and Arnaldo Bolt-drums teamed with Dave Peters manager to bring to life once again one of the most relevant and important groups in reggae history.
“Zap Pow Again” serves as a reminder to past fans of Zap-Pow’s power and an introduction to new generations of fans that reggae is still relevant and glorious. The album contains 8 new tracks (all originals which were mixed by the ‘quiet giant’ Grammy award winning engineer Christopher Daley) and 7 standard Zap-Pow recordings from the golden era. Old fans will be pleased to see “Sweet Lovin Love” (an instrumental steppers classic), “Let’s fall in Love”, Pinkney’s reggae classic “How Could I Live” and smash world hit “This is Reggae Music” included in the line-up. One of Zap-Pow’s main strengths remains the band’s astounding musicianship and this shine’s through in Pinkney’s guitar work, Gibby’s Bass and guitar contribution, DaCosta’s fine solos and the flawless arrangements which dance through all reggae’s various modes.
