Release Notes:
Born to a Sierra Leonean father and a German mother in a town outside Cologne,
Germany, in July 1979, Patrice Bart-Williams grew up listening to Burning Spear,
Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, and Bob Dylan, first writing his own songs when he was
12. He spent his teen years playing with various bands, including the
Afro-beat/reggae group Bantu, through which he met Matthias Arfmann, who
produced his debut EP, Lions, which came out in 1999. His combination of reggae,
soul, and folk attracted attention from the major labels, and his first
full-length, Ancient Spirit, was released on Sony the following year. In 2002
How Do You Call It?, a more polished and less idealistic album than the previous
one, was issued. In 2003 Patrice teamed up with the German reggae collective
Silly Walks Movement to release the aptly titled Silly Walks Meets Patrice, and
in 2005 the artist's third record, Nile, hit shelves. Most of that year was
spent touring Europe with his band Shashamani, furthering his reputation as an
electric live performer, a talent of his that was shared with the worldwide
public with his 2006 live album, Raw & Uncut, which also came in DVD form.
