One of the most desired reggae artist of the moment strikes again! While his first album Black Gold, produced by Rory Stone Love, is a hit for reggae fans across Europe, Samory I unveils a new single produced by the Swiss label Fruits Records in collaboration with Evidence Music.

“Call On Jah” reveals an even more roots facet of Samory I, transporting him in the mid-1970s on a flying cymbal riddim mixed by Roberto Sánchez.
