Roots reggae legends The Abyssinians played a show last ngiht at The Echo’s Dub-Club. Anyone who does not know their classic Satta Massagana album, needs to find it or suffer the burning hell of Babylon’s chains for eternity. A deeply spiritual, meditative, but catchy record, it will redefine your expectations of reggae entirely.

The old men were in tip-top shape, bright colors and perfect harmony. Harmony-singer Lynford Manning, looked oldest yet rocked hardest with dance moves that should have broken his hip. Playing their most beloved classics from “African Race” to “Declaration of Rights,” The Abbyssians proved themselves to be Jamaican legends the whole world should have worshipped.

You’ve just danced your little booty completely off at The Echo’s Dub Club, you need to pack some protein back on there and the Gold Room is out of free tacos? Duck East and a right for amazing carnitas and pastor tacos. Carnitas are tender and juicy with stew, practically melting in the mouth, while the pastor is crunchy and flavorful. Open late, there are a smattering of sauces available with lemon and radish like we like it. Asada tacos are similarly well-made and savory, juicy with infused character from the grill.
