A NOTE FROM DE INDISPENSABLES
In 1807 approximately 201 years ago the British parliament abolished slavery, a transatlantic trade that degraded the black race in those years. In 2007 the United Kingdom celebrated the 200 years of Abolishment of slavery. This gave us the inspiration to write the track ‘’I AM FREE’’ which most people prefer calling ‘’Free At Last’’.

This is our history. When we tried to study what happened in those days and wrote the original track which featured our Label mate Mtrill, It came out too strong and made a few people cry, so we decided to make it a happy song and with the help of our Label we featured International Jamaican Reggae icon Junior Reid. Who listened to the Original version and screamed and had to put pen to the remix version.

New CD - Gift Musarurwa

EPITOMY
Germany-based Gift Musarurwa and Robert Ketchum have not only achieved musical unity between them and with their excursions to Music roots, bringing the music from different eras plus the cross fertilisation which has taken place in contemporary music into one act. They have drawn together people of all the cultures of the rainbow, the young and the old and wooed even the most shy to the dance floor whenever they belt out their tunes to packed houses.

It is the EPITOMY of the Melting Pot - a point of convergence of cultures and music. Their extraordinary historical raportoir is so full of goodies that you can start anywhere and go in any direction with it because it is so entrancing.
That takes the kind of LOVE that music brings out quicker than any other art-form.
Robert Ketchum’s debut was at the tender age of 10 as a member of the Pop band "The Kids" in San Antonio, Texas. Perhaps no surprise as his Father was a Renowned Blues Musician. He also joined a Mexican folk-group and celebrated the "Mexican Mariachi" wearing an original sombrero!
