WWW,
April 2008 - Admitted: the title of
this incomplete, three-minute Nyabinghy
session by the UK based Ras Messengers
recorded in 1982 is a guess of yours
truly.
Actually, the session is taken from the movie
"Race, Rhetoric, Rastafari" by Jamaican
film maker Barbara Blake-Hanna which you can check
out on www.reggaefilms.co.uk.
The video deals with racism in the UK during the
early 1980's and has -next to Ras Messengers-
music by I Jah Man Levi and others.
"Egypt Land" is an up-tempo Nyabinghy
track. Nyabinghy means "Death To Black And
White Downpressors" and is a rhythm distinct
from Reggae.
Actually, Nyabinghy is true Rasta Music where
Reggae is not necessarily played by Rasta-only
artists. Actually, there are Rastas who would
argue that Rastas should not play Reggae but stick
to the natural sound of the hand drums playing
Nyabinghy while chanting to Jah.
See, hear and feel three minutes of pure
Nyabinghy drumming and Rastaman chanting: blessed!
