Tracks10
Inna de Yard, meaning “in the yard” in Jamaican patois, has resurrected the essence of Jamaica’s musical culture. More than just a collective, it’s about a state of mind teeming with raw collaborative energy. Stripped back to a simple, acoustic approach, outdoors, closer to the natural vibrations of instruments and voices. Initiated by the French label Makasound (founded by the same professionals who then set up Chapter Two) in the 2000s, eight Inna de Yard records followed, recorded in the open air in Kingston. In 2016, the Philharmonie de Paris decided to dedicate its next exhibition to Jamaica and approached Inna de Yard to reconnect with this unique musical experience. The adventure continued with the album “The Soul of Jamaica” released in March 2017 and the 2nd opus “Inna de Yard” In 2019, which lead to Peter Webber’s documentary. After 3 tour cancelled for Covid reasons between 2020 and 2022, the collective decided to record a new album in December 2022. Gathering the legendary Cedric Myton, Winston McAnuff, Kiddus I once again, the collective invite this time the Rocksteady duo Keith & Tex and the iconic 70’s singer Johnny Osbourne to join them for the session. UK Reggae specialist David Katz says it’s « their best episode »
