After 20 years in music, you’d expect things to slow down a bit.
Not really the case here.
Dactah Chando, one of Tenerife’s best-known reggae artists, has just released his 12th album, “Reset”… and if anything, it sounds like someone starting fresh rather than winding down.
A Proper Reset
The album came after a short break… not a dramatic one, just enough time to step back and think.
And that’s when it clicked.
He realised he can’t really stay away from music for long… so he went back into the studio and just started recording, letting things happen naturally.
No overthinking. No big plan.
Just play, record, see what comes out.
No Forced Message
What stands out is how the album was made.
The lyrics weren’t carefully mapped out… they came as he recorded, based on whatever he was feeling at the time.
Which, to be fair, probably explains the title.
“Reset” isn’t just a name… it’s exactly what it sounds like.
Still More to Do
Interestingly, after two decades, he doesn’t talk like someone looking back.
More like someone who feels he’s just getting into it properly.
Experience helps… but it hasn’t slowed him down.
The Simple Message
And his main point?
We should probably be listening to more reggae.
Hard to argue with that.
