Matisyahu + Dub Echoes Documentary

               
Last weekend, I had the pleasure to listen live to Matisyahu at Circo Voador in Lapa (Rio de Janeiro - Brazil). I don´t know why but I arrived four hours before the show and had to wait. I decided to have garlic pizza with a catupiry cheese filled boarder and to watch a documentary about dub called "Dub Echoes" produced by Bruno Natal. It was amazing how the fans were calmly seated down listening to a two hour documentary before the show. Matisyahu definitly attracts a distinguished audience.

“Dub Echoes is a documentary that traces the origins of the Jamaican dub music and it’s influence on the development of hip hop and electronic music.The film shows how the Jamaican invention called dub ended up influencing much of the music we hear today, from electronic music to hip-hop, transforming the studio in a musical instrument and giving way to all of sonic experiments.”

“Dub Echoes” was produced by a Brazilian crew in Kingston (Jamaica), London (UK), NY, Washington, LA (US), Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo (Brazil). It was appointed as the best dub documentary ever. It is definitly worth watching.

Some of the greatest dub music references given in the documentary are:
