Reggae Ambassadors

One of the longest-lived and most successful reggae bands, Third World first exploded onto the scene in 1973 after a number of Inner Circle members decided to branch out onto their own. Whilst many of their contemporaries relied on the sound systems to provide musical backing, Third World has always contained top class musicians and the ability to incorporate a wide variety of influences and styles into their music. It is no surprise that the hit with which they are forever linked, 'Now That We Found Love' found them taking an O Jays album track and turning a standard Philadelphia outing into a joyous reggae celebration. This live album captures the very essence of what Third World has been about for nearly three decades. Infectious reggae rhythms with a hint of traditional R&B are to be found on each and every track. The undoubted highlights are 'Now That We Found Love', '96 Degrees In The Shade' and their version of Bob Marley s 'Exodus'.
