Jango's Band of the Month segment is back with Australian born reggae artist  DeScribe . Currently based in Brooklyn, NY, his music is described as part of a positive movement that inspires & motivates people to come together and help create a better world.

The music is upbeat, high energy, urban-crossover international pop music with a very positive message, mixed with a bit of Jamaican dancehall flavor. When was DeScribe formed and where?
