about

Rastafarian Drums Meet Deep Roots Dub

Originally released only in Jamaica on Tommy Cowan's Top Ranking label around 1977–78, Rastafari In Dub stands apart from conventional dub records of its era. Rather than relying solely on studio wizardry, Ras Michael & The Sons of Negus fused sacred Nyahbinghi drumming, Rastafarian chants and deep roots rhythms with a stripped-down, meditative dub aesthetic, creating a uniquely spiritual and atmospheric listening experience.

A towering figure in Jamaican music, Ras Michael helped bring Nyahbinghi traditions from the grounation yard into the wider reggae world, influencing generations of musicians while preserving the heartbeat of Rastafarian culture. On Rastafari In Dub, that heritage is transformed into an entrancing dub journey where thunderous hand drums, hypnotic percussion and cavernous rhythms merge into one of the most distinctive roots recordings of its time.

Long regarded as a holy grail among reggae and dub collectors, original Jamaican pressings have remained scarce for decades. This deluxe reissue faithfully restores the album's original presentation, including Errol "Irie" Myrie's striking sleeve artwork, while offering the best audio quality the album has ever received.

A vital chapter in the evolution of roots reggae, Nyahbinghi music and Jamaican dub culture, Rastafari In Dub is an essential release for collectors, selectors and lovers of deep spiritual reggae.
