Helena record dub album
Unable to perform live due to the COVID-19 pandemic, members of Helena Latin band Los Marvelitos instead spent much of 2020 sequestered in their westside studio.

Their new project reimagined their 2019 album, âFrontera Norte,â in the style of dub, a genre of electronic music that originated in Jamaican reggae studios in the late 1960s and â70s and was further popularized by British bands like The Clash, The Police and UB40.
The resulting record, âFrontera de Dub,â will be released on iTunes, Spotify, Bandcamp and other online platforms on Jan. 29.
