Rockamovya is a reggae, ska, rocksteady, and jazz ensemble founded in 2006 by Harrison Stafford, Marcus Urani, Ryan Newman, Leroy “Horsemouth” Wallace, and Will Bernard. Stafford, Urani, and Newman were original members of the Californian group Groundation. Bernard played with Groundation during its annual Tribute to Bob Marley Tour in California. Wallace joined for the 2006 tour, which led to the formation of the ensemble. The group signed with the labels Young Tree Records and On The Corner, releasing its self-titled debut album, Rockamovya, in June 2008. This release includes songs such as “Take the Night” and “Red Rose”. A second album, Rockamovya 2, was recorded in 2013 for a planned release in 2014, but it was never issued.
