Chaka Demus

Chaka Demus is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of King Jammy, Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart, Nicodemus, Spanner Banner and Prince Jammy. Those roots explain a lot about how Chaka Demus arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Admiral Bailey, Jigsy King, Reggie Stepper, Pad Anthony and Captain Barkey, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Tanto Metro & Devonte and Patoranking, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 21 connections around Chaka Demus, reaching back through King Jammy and forward to Tanto Metro & Devonte.
