Liner Notes
Hail to all God's people from the Bambu Station. It is very
obvious that the events of the day challenge our faith, perserverance and the god mind.
So we come to offer our thoughts, to bring information to the misinformed and to offer
suggestions to resolve our dilemmas. The religious zealots and politicians have not done
so. Their only concern is to support and further their beliefs and party agendas, not to
do what is humanly right. Everyone of god intent must evaluate their own actions, and
move towards actions good for humanity. We can render miniscule the proponents of hate,
gluttony and oppression. However, we must start with ourselves, with each and every
decision we make. We must think godly, dress godly, eat godly and consequently live
godly. If these are our efforts, then One Day, by our own hands, righteousness will
rule. Selah. - The Bambu Station
We offer praises onto God for our inspirations, health, courage and
will. Much appreciation to all creators and performers of conscious music, responsible
music, Godly music. Unrestrained love and gratitude to the full supporters of the Bambu
Staion: our families, wives, queens, Alicia, the hardworking Mt. Nebo staff, Frankie Javois,
broadcast DJs, journalists, our many hard core distributors and our fans. - The
Bambu Station |

Creation Steppin':
Outta the Virgin Islands comes yet another incredible group of
modern rootsmen- Bambu Station. Singer-songwriter Jalani Horton, bassist Andy Llanos and
guitarist Tuff Lion form the core the band, who feature a subdued yet hard-driving modern
roots sound. This is their third release, and although I haven't listened to the first
two, I'd be surprised if they topped this effort. This is highly conscious music- in
Jalani's words meant "to inform and spread the livity and spirit of Jah."

Reggae Reviews:
Though still largely a fledgling label, Maryland-based Mt. Nebo Records is slowly
but surely establishing itself (in my mind, at least) as one of the most reliable sources
of top-quality roots reggae around. After releasing the excellent modern roots compilation
Talkin Roots Volume 1
in 2002, Mt. Nebo unleashes the massive sophomore effort from the band Bambu Station
(whose members were featured on Talkin Roots). One Day, to put it simply, is a
mind-blowing experience. It is an instant classic, nearly perfect vocally, musically, and
lyrically. - More
Suite 101:
In 2002, Maryland-based Mt. Nebo Records released one of the best
reggae compilations of the year, Talkin'
Roots I. One of the highlights of the disc was the contribution of the Virgin
Islands-based Bambu Station. Following their strong showing on Talkin' Roots I
comes One Day, 70-minutes of roots reggae that will give something new to even
the most wisened reggae fan. - More
Reggae Vibes:
By now it's obvious that the U.S. Virgin Islands have an
astonishing wealth of talent when it comes to modern rootsmen. Besides bands and artists
such as Midnite, Army, Pressure, and Dezarie, there's an incredible group of modern
rootsmen who call themselves Bambú Station. The latter was founded in 1996 by Jalani
Horton of St. Thomas, V.I., who was joined by bass player Andy Llanos of St. Croix in 1999
and Tuff Lion, known and appreciated for his brilliant guitar work. Their initial
recording was the independent single, "Amadou Diallo" (2000) and commenced a
musical relationship, with the addition of Warren Pedersen in 2003, that has attracted
notable attention of roots fans across the world. The single "Amadou Diallo"
is featured on their 2003 released album, "One Day", which was rightly received
with critical acclaim as can be concluded from listening to this very entertaining
collection of tunes. - More
