- POSITIVE ROOTS BAND – with BOB WASA


Right from the start, at the end of 1999, and after a first album (“A tous les Gens” Black Roots Record) the five members of POSITIVE ROOTS BAND have never stopped to perform with different singers.


The band is composed of musicians from south of France (Jean-Marc- drum-, Thierry –bass-, Mathieu- guitar-, Florian –keyboard-) and West Indies ( BOB WASA –lead vocal-).


More than 450 concerts have been done throughout France and European countries, including several performances on festivals with famous Jamaican (and others) artists as Buju Banton, Black Uhuru, the Skatalites, Israel Vibration, Horace Andy, Alpha Blondy, Rod Taylor, and Winston Macanuff….


BOB WASA has met POSITIVE ROOTS BAND in Toulouse, 10 years ago, on a studio record project, and immediately shared the “reggae feeling”…In 2002, POSITIVE ROOTS BAND was recording their second album (“Edition Speciale” Next Music / Jahmin ‘Records), a multicultural fusion of roots, raga and dub, with a dash of French flavor, when they’ve crossed the road of the Jamaican Gaylord Bravo.


Then, they teamed up with BOB WASA in 2004, with their first album, justly named “Reggae Feeling”!


BOB WASA and the “Positive” (the pet name of the band given by the French fans!) keep playing together, crossing the country to meet the numerous roots culture supporters.


For that reason, POSITIVE ROOTS BAND is acknowledged as to be a reference in France for their energy on stage. They have been played on main French Fm radio (as France Inter or Skyrock), and they made also appearances on different TV Programs (Canal Jimmy, France Television, and T-L-T).

The experience singer from Saint-Martin, BOB WASA, brings authenticity by his presence and his charismatic voice.


This melting-pot gives a rich, melodic and dynamic music between roots, new roots and dub.


The lyrics, all written by BOB WASA, talk about education, society, love and events of the world in simplicity on a positive way!


After the album "Reggae Feeling" the next album "Rainbow" feat. Gregory Isaacs, Big Youth, Daweh Congo and Laina Ankh, and mixed by gaylord Bravo in Leggo Studio (Jamaica), will be avaible in october 2007, roots and culture!!!
