A timeless roots reggae text that resonates with faith and soul
The Abyssinians' debut album, featuring spiritual choral harmonies, begins with "Satta Massagana," which reflects Rastafari thought.
Blending Jamaican spiritual beliefs with social consciousness, the album's profound choral work resonates like prayer. Recorded at Harry J. Studios and Joe Gibbs Studios, the album features rhythms reminiscent of religious rituals and profound harmonies, and sonically embodies the spirit of Rastafarianism through tracks like "Declaration of Rights" and "Forward On To Zion." This is a classic album in the history of roots rock reggae.
