Afgelopen zaterdag was ik op bezoek in de Sandlane studio in Rijen om beelden te schieten voor het Everybody Loves Bob Marley initiatief van zanger/gitarist Fernando Lewis.
Zoals de naam al doet vermoeden, speelt de band de muziek van het reggae-icoon. Het zijn niet zomaar covers, de nummers zijn verpakt in nieuwe verrassende arrangementen in de meest uiteenlopende muziekstijlen als latin, New Orleans ‘second-line’, blues, soul en funk.
