Based on the Nyabinghi sound - African drums and bass. This album was first released in 1972 as a limited edition white label LP. Features Peter Tosh, Tommy McCook, Robbie Shakespeare and Earl CHINNA Smith. Ras Michael is a unique figure amongst world class and internationally commercially popular reggae artists. His music is based on roots rhythms, African drum and bass and is referred to as the Nyabinghi sound. Imagine going way up into the hills, miles from the nearest civilized townships in Jamaica, and confronting percussionists sitting in a large circle and playing their different hand built style drums for hours on end and chanting to African rhythms centuries old. Often, these hypnotic ceremonies go on for several days and nights at a time without stopping, new drummers filling in when a drummer falls out from fatigue. Ras Michael's special style bordering on religious frenzy, occultism, voodoo, black magic and mysticism is related to the energy of drum and bass, which frequently causes the dancers to achieve states of exaltation and go into ritualistic convulsions. Ras Michael, since the early '60's, has released over twenty records on Shananchie, VP, SST, Trojan and Live & Learn. Perhaps the most sought after and difficult for the collector to find is "Rastafari Dub", which was first released in 1972 as a private white label LP pressing in a limited edition, timed to coincide with the release of the full "Rastafari". "Rastafari Dub" has found popularity with the same audience that gives props to Lee "Scratch" Perry, Niney the Observer, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Burning Spear and the Bad Brains. In addition to the Sons of Negus Rastafari percussionists, this CD features Peter Tosh, Tommy McCook, Robbie Shakespeare, Geoffrey Chung and Earl "Chinna" Smith.
