Patrice

When the conversation turns to reggae, the musical gaze wanders to Jamaica, where Bob Marley once proclaimed the doctrine of lightness in gentle, deep relaxation. But even here in Germany, there's Patrice, someone for whom this captivating beat is a matter of the heart.

How so, reggae in the middle of winter? As far as we know, no one has ever attempted Christmas carols in the swaying rhythm of the Caribbean. No one? In the style of rocksteady, an early, somewhat clattering form of reggae, Cologne singer Patrice Bart-Williams, along with some friends, takes a trip to »Winter Wonderland«, giving all-time classics like »Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas«,  »Drummer Boy« and even »Silent Night« an unexpectedly new splendor.
