Biography:
1. Groundation is a Fusion-Reggae band based in Sonoma County, California. It was established in 1998 by Harrison Stafford, Ryan Newman and Marcus Urani upon their meeting at the Jazz program at Sonoma State University. Groundation's music incorporates the lyrical struggle of Roots Reggae, the progressive musicianship of Funk/Jazz fusion, and other-worldly transcendental Dub.
The 9-piece band creates an altogether new Reggae sound, featuring swirling horns, stout poly-rhythmics, and soulful harmony vocals.

The light struck the night
Too indiscipline a battle dem fight
Walk and talk they steal mash dem down we will
With the strength of a lion stand still
Iya Iya war today oh steal I hear war today-ay-ay
The youth dem call upon the elders of which we seek after
The Congo Man a chanting oh dem Congo Man a chant
Oh the youth dem know but what they cannot see

Oh all the youth don't know of all those tears we cry
Yes oh this Rastaman life oh of this Rastaman life

Oh we give thanks and praises to dem elders
For the guidance we are after
Oh we give thanks and praises to dem elders
For unto them we know that
No one shall stand alone tonight
Shall run run tonight shall stand alone tonight
Shall run run tonight
Long before this war we use to cry and use to lie in bed
With visions of fire running red
And so we call upon these elders instead
Don Carlos at the control
