Free Music Review: Roots Reggae
Hit: 5 Stars
"African Reggae" is Putumayo's journey through the Jamaican music's African roots. Rastafarianism, which brought forth reggae, came from a syncretic Ethiopian/Christian reverence for Haile Selassie. Reggae often has socially conscious lyrics,and this collection is no exception. It's delightful, rootsy,and one of Putumayo's best African compilations.
"African Reggae" opens with Cote D'Ivoire's dynamic Ishmael Isaac singing "Magno Mako" (Pity). Ishmael Isaac suffered from polio at a young age, yet it hasn't stopped his music. Burkina Faso's Bingui Jaa Jammy honors Africa in song. South African singer Zoro sings about being jubilant despite suffering. He sings from experience. He was shot by a cop and was paralyzed from the waist down. Amazingly, he recovered. One Love Family from Cape Verde sings about uniting to combat humanity's ills. Kwame Bediako's "Steppin' into Zion" is another song about triumph over adversity. Guinea's Ba Cissoko sings a rootsy love song. Serges Kassy, from Cote d'Ivoire, sings about racial unity.
"African Reggae" is socially conscious and delightful! Feel the righteous rootsy riddims!
