The Ethiopians - Slave Call

 

180-gram vinyl

Contains rastafarianized version of The Beatles "Let It Be"

Limited edition of 750 numbered copies on orange vinyl

Deep Nyabinghi drumming and chanting on a version of the Ethiopian national anthem gets things underway on Slave Call, a majestic journey through the spiritual roots of reggae. Later songs add guitars, bass, keyboards, and horns to build a more standard reggae sound on that foundation, but there's always a dignified restraint and the profundity of the nyabinghi beat. the entire album revolves around Leonard Dillon's Rastafarian beliefs, with even the cover of the Beatles' 'Let It Be' rewritten to a religious end.

Slave Call is available as a limited edition of 750 numbered copies on orange colored vinyl.
