LALIBELA 'Black Son Rising' New
and interesting reality of the panorama of the American reggae, Lalibela
begin with ‘Black Son Rising’ with the ’elegance and the style of a
group already affirmed. The
group presents a formation a little untypical, constituted of two provided
vocalists, Jahri and Terry King, and the background vocalist Jillian Wess
who is the authentic leader and mind of the trio, as producer (the disk is
gone out for her Upful One Records) and author of the whole of the songs. To my way, this disk has a soul bivalent.
From a part we have some excellent intuitions that they embody in
pieces roots and early dancehall absolutely ruff & tuff, obtained
thanks to the talent of very good musicians and thanks to the intervention
of other reggae artists as the DJ Floydie Ranks and the dub poet Ras Fikre;
on the other side we find some colorless pieces that - wanting to remake
itself to the poppy-style of people like Third World and Steel Pulse,
belittle in some ways the tracking list with their generic reggae. Anyway
in complex we can say that
the good good work heard in
pieces like ‘Black Son Rising’, ‘Mountain of Man’ (a big fine
piece nyabinghi), ‘The way I see it’ and ‘Love is Reality’ do of
this album a work not to underestimate and to hold instead in
consideration. RasWalter |
