The Merrritonians is a French combo exploring rocksteady and Jamaican music, the old-fashioned way. For their eponym debut album, Don Cavalli offered them three songs. "A Lonely One" is the opening title and a cover version of French singer Pomme. Rocksteady still captivates the souls and makes the hearts of those who listen to it capsize. A timeless, warm music and the mother of many musical trends, largely inspired by this Jamaican treasure, this rocksteady memorial is a way of paying tribute to and thanking all the musicians, singers and sound engineers who, in such a short period of time, have recorded an impressive number of tracks! Half a century later, rocksteady is still very present in the collective memory but is rarely played live. With this in mind, The Merritonians propose to replay some of the hits from these prolific years. The Paragons, Hopton Lewis, Derrick Harriott, The Gaylads and many others will be there.... Rocksteady revival!
