Delighting fans of Italian roots & culture with their album "Terra & Acqua" ("Earth & Water") , and the anticipation for their next imminent work looks very promising. We are of course talking about Train To Roots, from Sassari, the best group of the lively scene in Sardinia. We will see them performing on Tuesday 24th August on the Main Stage, alongside numerous guests. Train To Roots, accompanied by the flute section from the band Mellow Mood and will live up to other leading figures of the Italian scene like Lion D, Ras Tewelde and Jacob from Mellow Mood.

Many of the Jamaican artists present at the festival, that means Tony Rebel, Queen Ifrica, Wayne Wonder, Chuck Fender, Mighty Diamonds, Etana, Marcia GRiffiths, Abyssinians and Busy Signal will have the same versatile backing band: we are talking about Live Wyya, one of the best Kingston's bands created in December 1999 by the bassist Carl "C-Phat" Edwards and the drummer Arnaldo "Naldo T" Bolt.

The sad loss of Sugar Minott obviously leaves an unfillable void in the reggae scene worldwide as well as in the line-up of Rototom Sunsplash 2010. To remember and commemorate this, the Festival will have a living tribute in the form of his daughter, the very young sing-jay Fire Pashon. This girl has grown up to the sounds of music by artists from Ghetto Youth Promotion, the famous organisation for the promotion of the artists from the ghetto which was created by Sugar Minott in 1979.

Coming from the young Aragonese Muffin Records, the vocalist Rapsusklei, also known as "The child from the jungle" will be at Rototom. One of the most important and popular names in the hip hop scene, with the recent release of his album "Pandemia", he is linked to reggae scene thanks to his usual collaborations with Saragosse's group Jah'Sta and the sound La Tribu Selktahs.

Despite his young age, he has already been topic of many conversations after winning the popular contest “Digicell Rising Stars” in Jamaica. Romain Virgo is perhaps the best fit to continue the great traditions of the Jamaican singers Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe or John Jolt, Dennis Brown, Beres Hammond or Cocoa Tea among others who have contributed in building the history of Jamaican reggae.
