Dub Echoes is a documentary directed by Bruno Natal (Brazil) that traces the origins of Jamaican dub music and its huge influence on the development of other musical forms including hip-hop and electronica.
It chronicles the evolution of sound and bass
and shows how the Jamaican invention called dub has influenced much of the
music we hear today and transformed the studio into a musical instrument. The film was shot in Kingston (Jamaica),
London (UK), New York, Washington, LA (US), Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo
(Brazil).
Dub Echoes features some of the true greats and pioneers of music from around the world including Bunny Lee, King Jammy, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, LTJ Bukem, The Mad Professor, Roots Manuva, Sly and Robbie, U Roy and Don Letts. The film was completed in 2008 and is due for release through Soul Jazz Records (UK) in May 2009.
