CONTEST: Can you recreate this track?

[abletony84]

Hello!

In my effort to master what I feel is the most difficult genre to master - roots reggae - I'm curious if anybody here could take the time to recreate this track?

Hugh Mundell (1962-83) & Augustus Pablo (1954-99) - Jah Will Provide

I mean, I can easily do electronic, dance, hiphop and the like. But when it comes to the complex rhythms of roots reggae my mind just goes blank. Would be really cool to see the various ways Live could be used to create this sort of music.

Thanks!

The drumming would be the thing for me as I can far more naturally think in rock-esque 4/4 timing not reggae... so that would be a challenge. Musicianship aside the rest would be quite simple, playing along track by track with live instruments - which is how i tend to work... very rare do i cut/paste/sample/warp/etc versus actually play them (drums being the exception... EZ Drummer rules LOL)
