Hitman & Fiza is the meeting of two sound system and studio enthusiasts, with leanings oriented towards conscious music. Their love for vintage equipment led them to the construction of their sound: Hitman & Fiza sound system.

“The Traditional Roots Rock Reggae Sound System”

A huge passion for 70’s Roots Reggae Music, for vinyl digging and speaker boxes building… Full days spent in searching for records, preparing cables, building boxes, carrying boxes outside and inside the van…7”, 12”, acetates, echoes, reverbs, Ohm’s Law, bridge, series and so on…

The first pirate dances on the hills, then the Sottotetto Yard in Bologna, where soundmans like Jah Observer, Jah Shaka, Aba Shanti I, Paul Axis, Channel One, Wassie One, Oxman, Ras Digby spinned their tunes operating on our sound system… 

The Conferences, the unforgettable sessions with Jamaican legends like U Roy and Johnny Clarke, the dances in the castles, in farmhouses, in squats, a lot of bredrins based in all the parts of the world and a huge passion we share together, “Roots Music & Sound System Culture”. 

During the last years 48 ROOTS had the pleasure to bring their sound system experience in some of the most relevant International Festivals dealing with Sound System Culture like Dub Camp, International Dub Gathering, Rototom Sunsplash, Zion Station, Island Station, Alp’ In Dub, Him Dub…

This is the 48 ROOTS, straight from the deep cellars of Bologna, ready to bring you in a unique journey into the sound of 70’s and 80’s, through the voices, the productions, and the labels of the golden age of Roots Music.
