BOOMDABASH
Barracuda European Tour

EN // Boomdabash is one of the best raggae bands in Italy.

Originally from Salento, they were born in 2002 as a classic jamaican sound system, founded by Blazon, the current deejay and producer of the quartet. Progressively Boomdabash change connotations along a path of artistic evolution that leads to the realization of the first official work, “UNO” (2008). Of the original sound system now there is little left and the Boomdabash soon become a full-fledged band. Blazon, Biggie Bash and Payà (the two singers) together with Mr. Ketra, talented Abruzzese beatmaker, actively and more consciously start their adventure in reggae music. The debut album receives feedback as big as it is unexpected. The project is striking for the freshness of style, the innovative way of looking at reggae, the sought after productions and the choice to express and communicate using two languages at the same time: the Jamaican patois and the Salento dialect. All this consecrates these four young guys of the south as one of the most solid and appreciated band of the peninsula and, over the years, the Boomdabash are appreciated for their musical flexibility, attention to the social and the ability to innovate and renew themselves. In May 2011, three years after the successful release of the first work, the Boomdabash publish the second recording project, “MADE IN ITALY”, anticipated by the hit track “MURDER” that brings the band to the victory of the MTV New Generation on stage MTV Days in Turin. After this great achievement, the Boomdabash begins a two-year journey: a tour that crosses Italy from the north to the south with over 100 dates. “Made in Italy” thus becomes the most representative product of the Salento reggae band, as born from their process of maturation and artistic growth. The album is loaded with the most varied musical influences but, despite its heterogeneity, it maintains an unmistakable reggae aroma. In June 2012 another national success “DANGER” enters the radio show, which in a very short time becomes one of the most successful tune of the summer. The experience of life, however, arrives in October 2012 with the Hitweek Festival. The Boomdabash, in fact, are chosen together with some big names in Italian music such as Subsonica and Negrita to represent Italy on a tour that touches the United States, in particular New York and Miami. This experience becomes the opportunity to export their very special sound in America, in fact the song “Danger” soon enters the rotation on MTV Iggy and in several radios of Florida. Back in Italy the Boomdabash publish the single “THE MESSAGE” whose street video is filmed between Manhattan and Brooklyn together with Dj Double S, one of the pillars of Italian rap music. The song “The Message” is the first single of the long awaited third album, “SUPERHEROES” (2013), which enters since the first day in the Top ten of the best selling albums of iTunes Italia. “Superheroes” is a mature, complete and innovative record that winks not only to reggae but to all the music, with many Italian guests who embellish the 13 tracks making them part of a small masterpiece. In 2013, from this latest recording project, three other singles are drawn: in May “SUNSHINE REGGAE”, in July “REALITY SHOW” which sees the collaboration of the Sud Sound System and in November “SOMEBODY TO LOVE”. The “SUPERHEROES TOUR”, which accompanied this record release, saw the Boomdabash perform in over 50 concerts in 10 months, recording numerous soldouts throughout Italy. In June 2014 the Boomdabash present their new single, “THE IMPORTANT” which sees the participation of the historic Roman group “Otto Ohm” entering immediately in the top ten of the general ranking of ITunes Italy and remaining firm in the first position of the reggae standings from the same store for more than six months.
