FEEL THE VIBES WITH STATE OF SATTA’S DEBUT ALBUM ‘SIMMER DOWN’
This summer, the seven-piece reggae-latin band State of Satta dropped their debut album, Simmer Down. Hailing from Leeds, this vibrant collective blends reggae’s rich traditions with a fresh Latin flair. Their music is a melting pot of Spanish sunshine, powerful bass lines, and messages of self-acceptance, love, and unity.
Inspired by artists like Havana Meets Kingston and Gentleman’s Dub Club, State of Satta offers a dynamic new take on UK reggae. Their language-fluid vocals and hip-swaying percussion reflect influences from European reggae greats Manu Chao and Mo’Kalamity.
THE SWAGGER OF THE BRASS LIFTS ME UP EVERY TIME
This unique sound has taken them on extensive tours across the UK, where they’ve headlined sold-out shows and supported acts like Dub Pistols and The Wailers.
“The swagger of the brass lifts me up every time,” said An Dannsa Dub’s Tom Spirals. “I can hear the band’s smiles shining through the music!”
Fronted by the soulful Yotam Sigwalt, their music speaks to both society’s struggles and life’s beauty. Simmer Down, written during turbulent times, urges listeners to find calm amid chaos.
Their single, ‘Para Bailar,’ features mambo-inspired horns and romantic vocals. It invites you to dance, shed your worries, and embrace love and freedom. This track transports you straight to Havana’s lively streets, capturing the party’s heart.
