Augustus Pablo, 1984

Augustus Pablo

In his teens, Mala discovered the music of Jamaican melodica player and producer Augustus Pablo. Mala enjoyed the small flourishes and melodies that only appeared once in tracks, and he tried to bring some of that subtlety of approach to his own productions.

With a huge back catalogue that spanned from the mid-70s until his death in 1999, there’s a lot of Augustus Pablo’s work to discover, but the late 70s period is considered his finest.
