| | | | Theirs is the ultimate musical marriage, a partnership that has changed the face of not just Jamaican music, but the entire world’s.
Such hyperbole is often rolled out by publicity machines whenever two musical talents come together, but in the case of drummer Sly Dunbar and bassist Robbie Shakespeare, it really was an earth-shattering union.
Their rhythms have been the driving force behind innumerable songs — one statistician estimated that together they’ve played on approximately 200,000 tracks, and that doesn’t count remixes, versions, and dubs. As a production team, the pair has been the equivalent of a creative storm, at the cutting edge of modern dub, ragga, and dancehall.
Sly and Robbie have introduced the non-reggae public to their heavy yet melodic sound by producing international artists like Bob Dylan, Grace Jones, Joe Cocker, No Doubt, the Fugees, KRS One, Material, Sinead O’Connor and countless others.
