ARIWA

• 90030 - Artistic creation

Although very much a southeast London phenomenon, the story of Ariwa really begins several thousand miles further southwest in Georgetown, Guyana, where Neil Fraser was born in 1955... ‘It was a crazy machine, but we managed to get some hits with it; most of the Johnny Clarke stuff was done on that machine, we made some good albums but it was a hellish machine so by '84, I got myself an Ampex that came from Virgin's studio, The Barge; it was a 24 track Ampex 1100 and I spent about two grand just tidying it up... Ariwa Sounds is a renowned Dub / Reggae music label recording studio in South London. Producing Dub, Roots Reggae, Lover's Rock and remixes of all styles of music.
