Island reggae act Reggae Tahiti has released a new record titled “Salt And Summit,” pairing the sea with the mountain.
The title moves from shoreline to high ground. According to the source, reggae has a loyal home across the Pacific, and Tahiti in French Polynesia plays a part in that. Island artists often tie their music to land, water and community.
The rhythm keeps a laid-back one-drop pulse, with a soft bass and light guitar skanks. Warm keys float above, while gentle percussion adds a sway. Simple images carry the message, so the mood stays reflective throughout.
The record is described as calm and scenic, with a clear sense of place. It takes its time, yet nothing drags, according to the source. Fans of island reggae will feel at home with its steady, unhurried feel.
