Linval Thompson Meets Roberto Sanchez

𝘼 𝙙𝙪𝙗 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨, Linval Thompson Meets Roberto Sánchez at The Ark – Marijuana Sessions in Dub revisits the foundations of Thompson’s classic I Love Marijuana era through the lens of contemporary studio mastery.

Recorded originally at Channel One with Jamaica’s finest session players and re-imagined decades later at A-Lone Ark Muzik Studio in Spain, the album highlights the timeless strength of the rhythms while expanding them with new depth, space and texture. Sánchez’s production approach respects the weight of the originals yet enhances their presence with careful layering and analog warmth.

The collaboration bridges Kingston and Santander, merging Thompson’s legacy as a singer and producer with Sánchez’s role as one of Europe’s foremost dub craftsmen. The result is a coherent and immersive work that transforms familiar roots foundations into a fresh sonic journey.

Marijuana Sessions in Dub stands as both a tribute to the golden age of reggae and a statement of its continued evolution, carrying the music’s spirit into a new era without losing sight of its roots.
