General Roots

General Roots is a dynamic, six-piece reggae band based in London, quickly rising to prominence within the UK roots scene. Formed by a group of lifelong friends, their incredibly tight live performances are characterized by heavy, driving basslines, sharp horn arrangements, and deeply melodic, conscious vocal hooks.

Championed early on by iconic figures like David Rodigan, General Roots has established themselves as a formidable festival act and reliable support band for international reggae legends touring Europe. Their music honors the foundational sound of Jamaican roots while infusing the unmistakable energy of the British sound system aesthetic.
