Roots Manuva, born Rodney Smith is a British hip-hop artist, who mixes hip hop with reggae and dub as well as electronica, and even some gospel. He grew up around Stockwell in South London. His parents were from a small village in Jamaica called Banana Hole where his father was a preacher and tailor.

ザ・ルーツ（The Roots）はアメリカのヒップホップグループ。別名はThe Legendary Roots Crew、The Fifth Dynasty、The Square Roots、The Foundation。 ヒップホップグループでは大変珍しいバンド形態で活動している（一部で「世界初のヒップホップバンド」とも称されるがステッツァソニック、ビブラストーンなどが先行しており誤りである）。 尚、名前の由来はアレックス・ヘイリー原作の小説『ルーツ』を基にした1977年制作のアメリカ合衆国のテレビドラマ（ミニシリーズ）から来ている。 ジャズヒップホップとしても名高いRootsだったが、「ヒップホップはサンプリングとスクラッチがあってこそヒップホップだ」という批判めいた指摘を受けサンプリングやスクラッチも導入した音楽制作も行うようになった。 メンバー * ブラック・ソート（Black Thought、MC） * クエストラブ（?uestlove、ドラム） * ハブ（Hub、ベースギター） * キャメル・クレイ（Kamal Gray、エレクトロニック・キーボード） * F・ナックルズ（F. Knuckles、パーカッション） * キャプテン・カーク（Captain Kirk Douglas、ギター） .

The Scientists were an influential rock band formed in Perth, Australia in 1978 led by Kim Salmon. The band had two primary incarnations: the Perth-based punk band of the late 1970s and the Sydney/London-based swamp rock band of the 1980s. The Scientists were much more influential than their minimal commercial success would indicate, lending their influence to artists such as Mudhoney and New York's downtown indie scene of the early 1990s. They were active from 1978 until 1987, then from 2007. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scientists .
