Lasai

About

Lasai’s voice is an invocation, a siren’s call echoing across dub landscapes. Emerging from the European sound system culture, this artist isn’t simply singing reggae; she’s channeling a feeling, a deep connection to roots music infused with modern electronic textures. Lasai's musical style is a potent blend of roots reggae, dub, and steppa, frequently incorporating elements of world music and electronic sound design. Think a sonic tapestry woven from King Tubby's echoes, the soulful vocals of Phyllis Dillon, and the contemporary bass weight of artists like Mala. Her career ascended through relentless dedication to the sound system circuit, gracing stages from underground squats to established festivals. A pivotal moment arrived with increased exposure via collaborations with prominent dub producers and sound systems across Europe. Lasai's cultural impact stems from her conscious lyrics and commitment to authentic expression within a scene sometimes prone to appropriation. She’s a fierce advocate for female empowerment within sound system culture, carving out a unique space as a vocalist, producer, and selector. Notable collaborations include work with renowned sound systems and producers from the UK, Spain and beyond. Currently, Lasai continues to push boundaries, exploring new sonic territories while remaining true to the roots of dub and reggae, constantly touring and releasing new music that challenges and uplifts.
