Junior Delgado, was a rules reggae singer
famed for his rooots style.
Originally from Kingston, Jamaîca, he recorded with the group Time Unlimited in the early 1970s before Lee perry produced his solo recordings. He recorded social comment song "Tition" in 1975 with singer Dennis Brown. Delgado's debut solo album

was released in 1978 and showcased his "raw moan" vocal style. He set
up his own label Incredible Jux and was a regular visitor to Britain. In
1985 he attracted controversy by releasing "Broadwater Farm", which
predicted violence on the north London housing estate. When a riot broke
out shortly afterwards, culminating in the murder of Keith, the record was banned.

Dance a Dub and
various compilations on his own label before a chance meeting with a
young music entrepreneur, Jason Knight, who had grown up listening to
his records meant a different path for him musically. He recognised
Junior's distinct raw style as one of the great voices of reggae and
encouraged him to share it with a new generation.
