#5 - JAH RASTAFARI BY 1814



This 8 piece band from the surroundings of the Whangaroa Harbour are a reggae band that has got people from all over feeling their vibe. With the name coming from the year the Gospel arrived & the first sermon was given, you can hear & feel their positive messages of peace & love through their sound! They're not a fancy band who does extended live reggae cuts or hardcore rasta drum fills, uitar solos & effects but they are a feel good happy reggae band.

In particular is one song, "Jah Rastafari" which has become one of my favourite NZ reggae jams because you can feel the passion of the song & even though it's mellow, it's powerful cause you just get locked into the groove and the vocals are in full effect (not too busy) but hearty & controlled & the lyrics are awesome & easy for everyone to understand (not those have to write it down & decipher the message) it's nice & clear.

Ask everyone that's heard this jam, you play it once, then it's on repeat & chain reaction from there.  If you are into just simple (but tight) feel good reggae, cop there album! I'ma give you the track, so you too can jump on the feel good buzz, wether in NZ, Niue, Raro or those other countries lol.
