KIBIR-LA-AMLAK: UK
http://www.Kibir-La-Amlak.co.uk

Kibir La Amlak is a UK based Rastafari roots and culture sound system, studio, record label and event organiser.

Kibir La Amlak has played all over the UK and Europe, alongside some of the biggest and most recognised sound systems and artists in the scene.
Experiencing Kibir La Amlak in session is a family vibe, as different micmen and selectors, such as Ras Bandelle Selassie, Ras Head and Shaft Benjamin often make guest appearances on the sound. Attention is always payed to creating a spiritual and inclusive atmosphere in the venue, with drums, Psalms, incense, Rastafari decor and food all regularly found in the dance.

The sound started as a two box youth sound in the 90's playing at house parties and community centres. From those times till now the sound has stayed with the tradition of being 'homegrown'. Everything from the tweeter boxes to the amp racks and the dubplates played through it are hand built.

Sound System has always gone hand in hand with studio and for Kibir La Amlak this was the natural way to go. The sound was first named 'The Horns of Jericho' in 2005, and since this time both sound and studio have gone from strength to strength. In 2007 the sound was renamed 'Teshuvah Hi-Fi', and it was under this name that the first 12", 'Warning', was released.

in 2008, after a period of reflection and meditation the sound emerged with a new name, Kibir La Amlak (meaning 'Glory to JAH' in Amharic).

Whether in the studio or on the sound system the message is always the same, Kibir La Amlak - Glory to JAH, this word sound is the focus and drive behind all of the works.

KING EARTHQUAKE: UK
http://www.KingEarthquake.co.uk

Errol Arawak, founder of King Earthquake sound system. In the beginning there were six members including myself, the other five were cousins, it was like a family sound. I have been playing sound system since 1977 before I left school, at that early age the sound wasn't that big so I only played mainly in Blues dances but increasing the sound every time. Five months after leaving school, I was only 17 at the time, I played at my first major dance. Up until then the sound didn't have a name, but after the dance someone commented I should name the sound "Earthquake".
