Originally released for Record Store Day 2021, Guanyin is the second release from Jah Wobble & Family. 

 

A unique mix of Chinese and Western styles that sees Wobble once again playing the Fender Precision bass he was assoicated with in the 1970s.

 

 

'I thought it was time that I worked with the family again....my wife Zi-Lan, and sons John and Charlie, (Tianqi and GZ Tian, respectively). The last time we recoded together was on ‘Chinese Dub’, back in 2008 which sold very well and this could be seen as a sequel to Chinese Dub. On this album Zi-Lan plays Chinese Harp, flute and sings, John (Tianqi) my eldest boy plays drums and percussion, keys and Chinese dulcimer and Charlie (GZ Tian), my younger son plays Chinese Violin and sings. Guanyin is the Great Female bodhisattva. ‘The Goddess of Mercy’. This album has a unique mix of Chinese and Western styles. It’s a real ‘Hi-Fi’ record.' - Jah Wobble
