Nadia McAnuff

Well supported

Jamaican singer, songwriter and nyabinghi drummer, daughter of the roots singer Winston McAnuff. Born in Florida, she came up through the Canadian pop band Agape before turning to reggae, and was brought forward by the producer Linval Thompson. Since 2020 she has worked with the French band The Ligerians, who approached her during the pandemic; their album "Shelter From The Storm" appeared in 2024, and the single "Colors" carries both her and her father.

Her career follows the route her father's did before her: a Jamaican singer whose work is made and released with French musicians.

From a Marley 7-inch on a reggae-starved island in 1977 to four decades inside France's sound systems and music press -- one correspondent's account, written directly to the Atlas, of a scene this archive had barely reached.
