Description:
SunDown Sessions is pleased to welcome reggae legend Pato Banton on Friday, August 13th at the Tower Beach Club in Mission Beach. Special Guest: Ginger Roots
Pato Banton (born Patrick Murray) is a reggae singer and MC from Birmingham, England. He first came to the public’s attention in 1982 on the Beat’s Special Beat Service album, dueling with Ranking Roger on ‘Pato And Roger A Go Talk’. Five years later, Banton returned with his debut solo release, Never Give In, which featured guest appearance by Ranking Roger, Paul Shaffer and Steel Pulse; the album was enlivened by Banton’s comic vocal characterizations. In the 90s Banton began to attract a large US following, where he was signed to I.R.S. Records.
1994’s ‘Baby Come Back’ became a worldwide success, selling one and a half million copies in Europe and Australia. In its wake, Sting invited Pato to chat over his ‘Cowboy Song’ single, which became another major chart success. Today, Banton remains a strong live draw in Europe and America.
