Biography
The Nyabingi chants on this album provide a rare opportunity to appreciate the righteous anger and dread indignation which fuels the creative energies of Rastafari. These chants were recorded at a Nyabingi held on the occasion of Ronald Reagan's 1982 visit to Jamaica; the session lasted for seven days. While the President of the United States was carrying out the affairs of state and enjoying the accolades of "establishment" Jamaica, the hills of upper Trelawney, on the fringe of the famed Cockpit Country, were ringing with the sound of the Nyabingi drum while the Rastafari Judgment fire blazed through the night. Churchical Chants of the Nyabingi presents for the first time on compact disc redemption songs of the Nyabingi.
