The orginal Rasta's said they should kill all white ppl LOL..
hum wonder why lol..

^^^^^ Absolute load of bollocks

Just because you're racist does not give you the right to lie and say other groups are

I'm in Negril at the moment, there is a sect here called the Bobo Shanti who are currently preaching Black Power in Jamaica, a return to herbal medicines, respect for women, etc, .... which given the White Power running the island into a dumping ground for cruise ships is not such a bad thing

The colour of your skin doesn't matter except to the police and JDF, who expect bigger bribes off white ppl .... me included

TribalSeeds

they have gone through various line ups. and that time period (SKBV) including Assini and Nemozian Rasta and a few other is peak midnite.
Vaughn Benjamin - Vocals, Percussion
Ron Benjamin - Keyboards, Guitar, Percussion
Abijah Hicks - Guitar
Phillip Merchant - Electric Bass
Dion (Bosie) Hopkins - Drums

This line up was SICK, but now Ron is on bass, and the others are all gone. It's a whole different show. But Dezarie shows are still as spiritual as it gets. Bless up IC.

Rasta to the bone!

RIP Lloyd Brevett of The Skatalites

Lloyd Brevett, founding bassist of legendary ska outfit the Skatalites, passed away earlier this morning (May 3) at Andrews Memorial Hospital in St. Andrew, Jamaica at the age of 80. Billboard reports that the musician had been in the hospital receiving treatment following a stroke and a series of seizures.

A recent report from the Jamaica Observer newspaper found close friend and former Columbia Records A&R person Maxine Stowe explaining that Brevett’s health had deteriorated considerably in recent months following the fatal February 26 shooting of his son Okeene near Brevett’s home in the Seaview Gardens area of St. Andrew. Okeene was returning home after accepting an award on his father’s behalf from the Jamaican recording Industry Association.

Brevett helped found the original lineup of the Skatalites in 1963, and the ten-person roster stayed together for 18 months. While they acted as a backup band on several pioneering ska recordings, the group also recorded a number of notable instrumentals on their own, including “Guns of Navarone” and “Eastern Standard Time.”

Beyond his tenure as the group’s upright bassist, Brevett also produced two Skatalites albums, 1975’s African Roots and 1976’s The Legendary Skatalites. The musician was honoured several times throughout his career, having been bestowed Jamaica’s Order of Distinction in October 2001 and the Silver Musgrave Medal for his contribution to music in October 2010.
