The Saturday 28th, at 8:30 p.m., new premiere at Fábrica La Isleta in the key of reggae with the band The Conqueror Project that presents its new album in Gran Canaria Dublab Vol2. A new work that comes to represent the consolidation of the unique identity of a group made up of veteran musicians from the reggae scene who have decided to put Dub at the center of their project. Years of concerts in which improvisation and constant interaction between producer and live band have worked to fluency. The album captures these dynamics to perfection giving more importance than ever to the Dub mix by Julio Armas (the Conqueror of Dub) and the curiosity to create different textures and soundscapes through the use of a multitude of additional instruments (harmonica, harp, sitar, steel guitar) that dress up each issue. An album that has to be classified under the Dub label and that definitely sets the band apart from the clichés perpetually associated with reggae.
The Conqueror Project are Diego Hdez -natural teacher-, guitar, voice, harmonica, steel, slide; Julio Armas, -the conqueror of dub-, dubmaster; Hector Mesa, drums; Jaime Perez, bass; Jóse Pablo Rodrigo -Ösay-, guitars; Eduardo Morales, keyboards, and Carlos Pérez, percussion.
