Esteemed artist Rocksteady.Dub, also known as Ivandro Jadir Americo Jacinto, proudly presents his latest musical venture, the “Freedom Radio” EP.
This 4-track collection stands as a testament to his illustrious 25-year legacy as a singer-songwriter, producer, and engineer. In a world overshadowed by war, hunger, and violence, this EP emerges as a beacon of light – a deliberate effort to counterbalance the chaos by infusing music with profound joy, simplicity, and authenticity.
