ambassa is a digital dub project, started in 2000 by Carmine Minichiello (Gamino) & Raffaele Gargiulo (Papa Lele), and settled in Irpinia -South of Italy-, a rugged and poor land, far away from the nerve-centers, where digital dub music had way and space to express itself: a physical and cultural isolation, which develops in Jambassa an own original style, detached form the genre standards.
Initially born as Dj set, Gamino & Papa Lele matured a natural bent to studio productions formerly in 2006, with "Waiting Dragoon", their first work and fourth publication of the Aquietbump, a label founded by Jambassa with other two artists: Paolo Picone (Peak) and Giovanni Roma (Black Era).
Jambassa sound is digital, even if extremely warm, "contemporary", even if strongly linked to '70/'80 jamaican roots music, and "essential" but rich, more based on groove textures than melody, and so: drum, bass and other few elements.
Starting from these music approaches, spontaneous collaboraborations and experiencences began with several italian and foreigners artsits such as Disrupt (DE), Mikey Murka (JA/UK), Volfoniq (FR), Hotdrop (ES), ltd. Candy (DE), Ranking Forrest (USA), Sardinia Bass Legalize (I), Rankin' Alpha & Dubital (I) and others.
Besides the three official releses ("Waiting Dragoon - 2006", "The Roots and the Flowers" - 2008 and "Macchine Parlanti" - 2009), Jambassa appears on other productions, with re-mixes and original tunes, amongst which "Italian Dub Community showcase vol. 1", a compilation with songs made by best underground italian dub musicians, and "Future Sound Theory vol. 2", by Matt B for the asian label Celestial Dragon.
