5.0 out of 5 stars Long live Alpha Blondy, September 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Yitzhak Rabin (Audio CD)

"How extraordinary," you may wonder, "for a reggae artist to dedicate and name one of his albums after an assassinated Israeli prime minister." But this comes as no surprise if you are familiar with Alpha Blondy and the message he has been spreading for years through his music. He is truly one of reggae's greats, and throughout his entire career has been creating spiritual reggae that smites injustice in one lyric and promotes peace and brotherhood in another. One of his early songs, "Jerusalem," should be used as a blueprint for the Middle East situation or other zones of conflict. After singing a line of prayer in Hebrew and Arabic, Blondy intones, "We can see Christians, Jews and Muslims...living together and praying Amen...let's give thanks and praises!"

"Yitzhak Rabin" is infused with the same spirit as Blondy's other albums. It's great music with a message, delivered as only the power of righteous reggae can. This is Rasta spirit exemplified, but you don't have to be a Rasta to appreciate Blondy's beats and humanistic views.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alpha has done it all again, Great album !, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Yitzhak Rabin (Audio CD)

This album is outstanding. Alpha Blondy is the greatest of a handful number of artists who keep Reggae music afloat and pure. For the past 15 years or so, Alpha Blondy has delivered this incredible and unique sound. This album is as good and refreshing as Alpha's Revolution with in addition the "Wailers' beat" that we enjoyed so much in the celebratory anthem "Cocody Rock". "Guerre civile" is my favorite on this album but all are great.

This review is from: Yitzhak Rabin (Audio CD)

As a prophet, Alpha Blondy sees the world above the average person. Israel might be far from his homeland, but his desire to see the world in peace make his world bordeless. Yitzhak Rabin should revived our mighty heart with love,essence of life.
