"Bongo Red," and "Roots Natty." They remain one of the most
influential reggae groups of the past 30 years.
Gladiators return in 2005 with the fresh new “Father And Sons” album, recorded at Anchor studios in Jamaica. Faithful to his roots compositions, Albert Griffiths delivers reggae massive full of heart, force, and courage.
