If you’ve heard any reggae music in your entire life then you’ve heard Sly Dunbar’s drumming, or at the very least, his influence. As one half of Sly and Robbie-a duo dubbed the Riddim Twins-Sly says he’s probably played on a million songs. Sly and Robbie got their start as the rhythm section for Peter Tosh in 1976, and after touring with him for a number of years started Taxi, where they would produce other artists and/or act as their rhythm section. Collaborators included Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Black Uhuru, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Madonna, Grace Jones, Sinead O’Connor, Serge Gainsbourg, No Doubt, Britney Spears, and probably a million more. And yes, he talks about all of the things mentioned in the title of this video! For the full transcript of this interview, visit berkonl.in/2Ys...

Mr Dunbar, a 'Great Style' since hearing you for the time in 1971!

[@decentmoyo568]

He is the man that introduced me into drumming, especially reggae music. I listened to reggae music in Zimbabwe mid 80's dub rhymes rockers and Roots reggae. I'm based in Botswana and did make some studio recording and applied some of his styles 🥁🥁. Big up to Papa Sly.
