SYMARIP, led by Roy Ellis, is a foundational figure in the UK reggae scene. Emerging in the late 1960s under names like The Bees, The Pyramids, Seven Letters, and Zubaba, the project matured into one of the earliest skinhead reggae manifestations. SYMARIP is celebrated for fusing raw reggae rhythms with a crisp, streetwise edge, influencing countless bands in the UK ska and reggae movements.
