The Ligerians

Probable

French backing band from the Loire region, named for the river, who back visiting Jamaican singers on record and on stage. Their work with Nadia McAnuff is documented on the band's own channel, and follows the pattern the French scene has used since the 1980s: a local band good enough that a Jamaican artist can tour and record on the continent without carrying one.
