Try JAH Love is in many ways an uplifting
track.
The tempo and general vibe was adopted from
"Disco", a non-Reggae style of music
predominant throughout the late 1970's and early
1980's. Electric guitars added a Rock element but
the riddim itself is 100% Reggae.
The words are full of wisdom and testify of
faith in the Creator Who loves His children and
keeps them conscious, upright. Like that other
mega-hit entitled "Now That We've Found
Love", Third World brings a crucial message
from the Creator to an audience of millions.
Third World itself is a Jamaican Reggae band
which is more special than it sounds. Most
Jamaican Reggae, when played by a band, is played
by a studio band rather than a group of musicians
who make their own songs and perform these songs
in live concerts.
The year is 1982 and the band decided to take
almost 7 minutes to perform the magnificent
"Try JAH Love" at the mother of all
Jamaican Reggae festivals, the Reggae Sunsplash
Festival.
Hear, See and Feel!
