Culture Feat. Kenyatta Hill & Cedric Myton

A roots reggae double bill pairing Culture, featuring Kenyatta Hill, with Cedric Myton, co-founder of The Congos. The concert takes place at Band On The Wall in Manchester.

Culture is a roots reggae vocal group whose work dates from the 1970s, when it was led by Joseph Hill, and their album Two Sevens Clash belongs to that decade. After Joseph Hill died in 2006, his son Kenyatta Hill took over the microphone, continuing the group's music and its spiritual outlook. Kenyatta Hill performs with Culture on this bill.

Cedric Myton is a Jamaican reggae singer who co-founded The Congos with Roydel Johnson in the second half of the 1970s. The group's album Heart of the Congos, released in 1977, was produced by Lee "Scratch" Perry. Myton is recognised for a falsetto voice that is both delicate and forceful. At this concert, Myton will perform a set of songs from The Congos catalogue.

Band On The Wall is a live music venue in Manchester's Northern Quarter, mainly hosting concerts with a focus on pop, rock and indie. This evening is aimed at listeners interested in roots reggae and its vocal traditions, bringing together two artists connected to its 1970s recordings.
