Bushman - My Meditation (Charm/Jet Star)

Bushman's voice sounds more intense and powerful than ever, describing his passion for life and music in a very conscious way. And for ganja of course. Listen to 'You Got Me Going (Weed Fi Burn)': "I say a man without a spliff is like a gun without bullets and you got to accept this - so don't buy no coke or no crack fe go crack it and become an addict - blow your nose and not your mind, because you will need it in this time". 'Bloody City' gives us Bushman chanting at his rawest, fitting to the apocalyptic lyrics: "I rise up to see the wicked man go down, inna burning flames of fire - I sit up inna the hills and meditate, with mi chalice load of kaya - Preventing people from doing wrong - Strenghten the weak, so they can be strong.".

In the next track Bushman sings: "I make music for my people, who are feeling down, and lost there way to love - Eliminating war and evil, and left him high, rightgeousness above - And nothing you can do to change me, singers and players of instruments, my friends, are envy - And it doesn't matter what they say, it doesn't matter what they do - Music shall live and never die". Also check out the biographical track 'Doesn't Matter', 'King Selassie I', 'What You Gonna Do', 'A Better Place', 'Tell Me Why', 'Gansta Life', 'My Meditation', 'Back Weh Vampire', 'Mama', 'Bloody City' and 'Only Jah', all very rootsy, sometimes strictly nyahbingi style. The album was recorded live and analogue by Stingray brothers Carl en Ray McLeod. Roots & culture inna fyne style.
