Roots Reggae (1977) [Unreleased Album] Jahbeni Rootsfire - Rootsman Chant

Details

Description

Step into Kingston, 1977, where the air is thick with Nyabinghi drums and the scent of burning herbs. “Rootsman Chant” by Jahbeni Rootsfire is a powerful, unreleased roots reggae album that captures the heartbeat of a generation seeking liberation, unity, and spiritual awakening.

Recorded in a small Dub Club studio in Spanish Town, this album blends heavy basslines, militant one-drop drums, and deep Rastafari chants, creating a raw, analog warmth that resonates in every track. Jahbeni’s gravelly yet soulful voice carries messages of repatriation, the fall of Babylon, and the power of Jah love, backed by a live band of seasoned Kingston session players.

Each track unfolds like a prayer, with echoes, sirens, and melodica melodies dancing in the mix, inviting the listener to reflect, chant, and move in spiritual meditation.

“Rootsman Chant” remains one of the hidden treasures of 70s roots reggae, a testament to the strength of cultural resistance through music
