REBEL TUMBAO

This is a passion project in which Matt teamed up with Latin percussionist/timbalero Jose Claussell who works extensively with maestro Eddie Palmieri.  They released a self titled recording in March, 2014.

Here is the project/album description at the time of release:

This funky-fresh-earthly sound is the uncompromising fusion of two of music’s most celebrated genres; Roots Reggae and contemporary Cuban Son - with deep influences of 70’s Soul, gospel, the blues, jazz and African folkloric idioms. Half of the album consists of incredible Afro-Cuban arrangements of some of Bob Marley's best known songs, arranged by Matt Jenson. The other 1/2 are Matt's original compositions in this new style called "Afro-Latin-Roots-Reggae."
