Rerelease: Richie Campbell finally addresses the elephant in the room
Published 3 weeks ago
Description
Richie Campbell went to Jamaica at 18 with one contact and no plan. He printed out Patois lyrics at school to learn the language. He learned to compete in Kingston studios before Portugal fully understood what he was building. Speaking with Tony Gonçalves, one idea prevails: Portugal gave him roots, Jamaica gave him meaning.
His new album is called Elephant in the Room. This is the conversation behind it, recorded live on location at the IPMA.
