Best Of 2001 :
2001 have been a fantastic year regarding Reggae releases, we at Solar Reggae Show and Reggae Portugal webpage thinking on the "small" Universe of releases that we have promoted, and of course based on the phone calls to the radio station, e-mails and personal opinion, we have selected one particular project for the best album of 2001. Thinking on "quality" of the music, vocal, production, musicians, well the essential ingredients to make a classic album, Luciano with his "Great Controversy" is in our opinion the album of the year 2001.
