about

Underground Roots | feat. Ari Up of The Slits [Length: 4:27 Tempo: 72.5/145bpm Key: F minor ] The ganja tune “Underground Roots” originally mostly instrumental, features Ari Up, pioneering singer of the first allfemale UK punk band The Slits, joining Scratch on vocals for an exploration of the metaphor of underground roots and culture. Sadly it this was Ari’s last recording session, shortly before she passed away, recorded not long after her live performance with Scratch, Subatomic, & Dubblestandart in NYC. Ari and Joe Strummer of the Clash dated in the early days of UK punk. Ari introduced him to reggae and even taught him some guitar chords. The Clash brought the Slits on tour with them and scored a big hit cover Lee Perry’s “Police & Thieves” track, later asking Perry to remix their dub album “Black Market Clash”.
