Twenty-five years ago, Eon Sinclair and Jay Malinowski met by chance while moving into the same student dormitory. The ska/roots/reggae band that they would form emerged from Kingston – not the one in Jamaica, but the one in Ontario, home to Queens University. Eon and Jay had envisioned very different futures for themselves before Bedouin Soundclash took off, turning them into Juno Award winners and genuine hitmakers.

Bedouin Soundclash have always followed their own rhythm, spinning heady successes into a record label of their own, Pirates Blend Records.

In this Hidden Track Session, we hear three songs from Bedouin Soundclash and portions of their conversation during a visit to CKUA's Edmonton studios.
