Contrary to what many would have you believe, there is an absolutely thriving reggae scene all across Europe, and after the young Albert D'Ascola became enamoured with the sound at an early age, he formed one of the most celebrated bands in that scene at the age of 15. Reggae National Tickets became one of the biggest reggae acts in Europe in quick succession, and relocated to Jamaica in 1999 in order to make a name for themselves all over the world. However, at this point D'Ascola, who went by the name of Stena when he fronted the band, was feeling constricted by the responsibilities of being in a band. Fortunately for him, no-one else in the band were feeling particularly happy with their lot either, and after their time in Jamaica didn't really do anything to raise their profile, they split in 2000.
D'Ascola stayed in Jamaica with one eye on beginning a solo career, but first he took any work he could get as a producer and sound engineer, starting from the very bottom of the food chain. This still didn't endear himself to the people he was working with, and he soon got used to being called Borosie, Jamaican slang for a rude person. However, he kept working, earned his dues and later took the insult as his stage name, renaming himself Alborosie. By the mid-2000's, he'd secured himself a record deal with Forward Recordings and released his debut solo album, “Soul Pirate”, in 2008. Ever since then, he's gone from being the most successful reggae artist in Italy to a genuine world-wide concern, with his 2014 album “Specialist Presents Alborosie and Friends” crashing into the Billboard Top Reggae Albums Chart at number 7. For showing that great music knows no boundaries, Alborosie comes highly recommended.
Avis
A talented multi-instrumentalist, Alborosie’s skills on the guitar, drums, keys, and bass are simply mind blowing. After seeing him perform live once, I don’t think I’ll be able to resist next time he’s near by. Alborosie has been pefroming since he was very young, and focused on Jamaican reggae from a young age.
Seeing him switch effortlessly from instrument to instrument is a true display of what musical talent is. Playing the drums whilst singing through the lyrical beath of some of his most famous tracks, the entire auditorium were completely mesmerised. Just before seeing him in concert, he had won the MOBO Award for the best reggae act, so he was on top form, and was super thankful to all of his fans. He sand through Dub Clash which was epic, and extended certain parts of the sing by adding a couple of guitar solos. They were completely improvised, yet astounding.
Kudos to his band too, who were in perfect timing for the entire set, and smashed out some awesome tunes alongside the incredible Albrosie rocking the show. It was a great atmosphere with everyone loving the music, singing and dancing along. Lovely crowd, epic show.

Italy and Jamaica may have no other tenuous link apart from neo-reggae singer/songwriter Alberto D'Ascola better known by his stage name Alborosie. Performing with his synonymous dreadlocks and surprisingly authentic reggae sounds. Since the mid-90s his reputation has been growing dramatically and he is now known around the globe, performing highly produced shows complete with several instrumentalists and backing vocalists.
His dancehall vibes have the whole crowd grooving along to the easy listening mentality of tracks including 'Rolling Like a Rock' and 'Herbalist'. He holds the attention for an impressively long set that lasts over twenty tracks and does not allow the pace to drop or the attention to waver once. He may sound Jamaican yet he has an undeniably Italian charisma when interacting with the audience which is totally infectious and wins them over from the offset. He dedicates numerous tracks to the venue, city and people he is performing to and tells great stories about his travels and music. By the time it is finally time to go following on from 'Kingston Town' the crowds make their distain very much heard.

Nothing quite like a dash of Italian reggae to go with your cocktail on a night out of live music. Alborosie is the talented song-writer from Marsala, in Italy. He has been making music for a very long time, accomplishing a lot in hit career so far. Not only this, but he definitely won a MOBO Award for Best Reggae Act in 2011.
The live shows are a true reflection of everything that he is about. There’s always a very chilled out atmosphere with his music. The band launches head first into “Rastafari Anthem”, followed by “Kingston Town” and “Call Up Jah”, all songs that are catchy enough to get this party started with enough bass to make enough kinetic energy in your being start to dance the day away. Alborosie, grabs his guitar for a couple of songs, sealing his reputation as an artiste amongst these Reggae loving patrons.

The show was amazing. Is incredible to see Alborosie in a concert. However, I didn't like the place at all. In the tickets said that the concert was from 20:30 to 23:30. It's normal that the concert starts late so the people can get into the place but it actually started at 21:40!!! And last only until 22:30. The drinks in the place were extremely expensive and the organizational aspects a bit bad. I don't recommend to attend that disco (Sala Mon) although the singer is amazing!
