Aswad – The Artist/s

Aswad are a long-lasting British reggae group, noted for adding strong R&B and soul influences to the reggae sound.They have been performing since the mid-1970s, having released a total of 21 albums. “Aswad” is Arabic for “black”. The members of Aswad are UK descendants of immigrants from the Caribbean. The original members of Aswad were guitarist/vocalist Brinsley “Chaka B” Forde, drummer/vocalist Angus “Drummie Zeb” Gaye, lead guitarist/vocalist Donald “Dee” Griffiths, bassist George “Ras” Oban, and keyboardist Courtney “Khaki” Hemmings. Initially, the band produced music in the roots reggae vein, with members contributing songs individually and with Forde acting as the band’s principal songwriter. The band’s dynamic soon began to change however and once the band’s line-up had stabilised into the trio of Forde, Gaye, and Robinson, Aswad followed a more commercial reggae style, gaining a wider audience.

Next To You – The Song

‘Next To You’ is a reggae song written and performed by Aswad taken from their ninth studio album ‘Too Wicked.’
