Biography

Horace Michael Swaby (21 June 1953 – 18 May 1999), also known as Augustus Pablo, was a Jamaican roots reggae and dub composer, performer, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He was active from the 1970s until his death. He was known for playing the melodica.

Biography

He was born in St. Andrew, Jamaica, and learned to play the organ at the Kingston College School, where a girl lent him a melodica. He also met Herman Chin Loy, who after working at his cousin Leslie Kong's Beverley's record shop, had set up his own Aquarius store in Half Way Tree. Swaby recorded several tracks, including "Higgi Higgi", "East of the River NileEast of the River Nile1981 · Studio albumSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 12 tracksA1Chant to King Selassie I3:44A2Natural Way3:40A3Nature Dub3:49A4Upfull Living4:53A5Unfinished Melody2:37A6Jah Light2:17B1Memories of the Ghetto3:20B2Africa (1983)3:04B3East of the River Nile2:53B4Sounds From Levi4:02B5Chapter 24:17B6Addis‐A‐Baba3:48", "Song of the East" and "The Red SeaThe Red Sea1998 · Studio albumSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 14 tracks1The Red Sea2:382Iggy Iggy3:073East of the River Nile2:494Soul Vibration2:305Song of the East2:546Uganda2:417Youth Man2:468Invasion3:049I Man2:3210African Rock2:4611African Zulu2:36124052:3213Reggae in the Fields2:4414Darker Shade of Red3:21" between 1971 and 1973, for Chin-Loy's Aquarius Records. Chin Loy had previously used the name Augustus Pablo generically for keyboard instrumentals recorded by Lloyd Charmers and Glen Adams, and Swaby took the name for this recording.
He soon joined Now Generation (Mikey Chung's band) and played keyboard with them while his friend Clive Chin began his own career as a record producer. Pablo and Chin recorded "Java" (1972) together after Pablo quit Now Generation. He has recorded with Chin and Chin's uncle, Leonard Chin, and Lee Perry. Pablo formed the labels Hot Stuff, Message and Rockers (named after his brother's soundsystem, Rockers).

This was followed by a collaboration with King Tubby in their 1975's Ital Dub.
Pablo produced a number of songs in the 1970s, including "Black Star Liner" (with Fred Locks). He has also worked with Dillinger, I-Roy, Jacob Miller, the Immortals, Paul Blackman, Earl Sixteen, Roman Stewart, Lacksley Castell, the Heptones, Bob Marley, Delroy Wilson, Junior Delgado, Horace Andy and Freddy McKay.
With Jacob Miller, he recorded "Baby I Love You So" in 1974. Pablo's dub version of the song, titled "King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown", was mixed by sound engineer King Tubby. It was named the 266th greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone.
Pablo later released a few LPs, including King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown (1976) and Hugh Mundell's Africa Must Be Free by 1983. This was followed by East of the River Nile (1978), Original Rockers (1979) and another album, Rockers Meets King Tubbys in a Firehouse. In 1980, he appeared on the soundtrack of the documentary DOA. He released Rising Sun in 1986. He also toured throughout the world, recording a live album in Tokyo in 1987.
In 1997, he played melodica on Primal Scream's single "Star".
Augustus Pablo died as a result of a collapsed lung on 18 May 1999. He had been suffering for some time from the nerve disorder myasthenia gravis.

Personal life

Pablo was a Rasta. His son, Addis Pablo, followed him into a career in music, as did his daughter, Isis Swaby.
