The Gladiators were founded in 1967 by Albert Griffiths. They wrote iconic 70s roots rock reggae tracks such as "Hello Carol", "Bongo Red" and "Roots Natty". With the release of their legendary album "Trenchtown Mix Up", the Gladiators have secured themselves a place in the reggae hall of fame. In 2006, for health reasons, Albert Griffiths handed over the leadership to his son Al, who bears a striking resemblance to his father in both appearance and voice and was quickly accepted by the public as the new face of the band.
