Sydney’s very own reggae-dance hall specialists The Strides are back at The Basement featuring the powerhouse nine-piece outfit that are Ras Roni, Ltl Gzeus & Blacker C (vocals), Nick Garbett (trumpet), Jeremy Rose (sax), Matt Smith (guitar), Danny Pliner (keys), Carlos Adura (drums), Pat Harris (bass).

THE STRIDES
The Strides are a new force for Reggae music. Fronted by roots man Ras Roni from Barbados via London, Fijian MC LTL GZeus and Sierra Leonian ragga powerhouse Blaka C, The Strides deliver a musical experience that is as powerfully explosive as it is authentic. With three acclaimed albums already under their belt, a European label signing, festival appearances across the country and having graced the stage with the likes of Third World, Julian Marley, Tony Allen and Groundation, The Strides’ music faithfully builds on the foundations of classic roots reggae with a hip-hop edge, forging a sound that brings together modern dance hall, dub beats and reggae-pop. The Strides have forged a truly global sound melding a diversity of cultures and instrumentation under the one universal consciousness.
