Diamond in the Rough.......2004-04-12

I am a huge fan of Alpha Blondy and African reggae in general and can say with some authority that this album is BRILLIANT. It's soulful and has lotsa depth. At the same time it's nicely polished and beautifully recorded. Sly and Robbie provide rythm and U-Roy makes an appearance as well. It seems that it's a right of passage for African reggae stars to take a pilgrimige to Kingston, JA in order to record with the greats of the era and pay a certain homage (see Alpha Blondy's Jerusalem - recorded with the Wailers). Now that I've heard this cd I am going to order the rest. Can't wait to see this guy sometime here in North America. Buy this album!

Great Reggae.......2006-01-04

This review is valid for this album and all other Tiken Jah's work.
TIKEN IS GREAT!!!
You will never regret spending money on any of his albums!
Great African Reggae!
Tiken is my favourite artist and has been such for 4 years now. I was first introduced ton his work in Angola during the Civil War and I found him to be the hope and prophet so needed in the continent.
Tiken his extremely talented, political and brave. His politically filled songs have earned him exile from his country, Ivory Coast. He has criticised everybody during his musical career: Africans and Europeans, French and Americans, His Presidents and others', his people and foreigners. Tiken does not discriminate when it comes to judging people for their actions: bad is bad, no matter. This is easier said than done, Tiken does it. In every album. And people follow: Tiken is extremely loved by younger generations in his country and throughout West Africa.
I also appreciate the fact that Tiken has never fallen for any easy catch and he's truly a unique reggae artist. He never sings about Ganja - not that there's anything wrong with that, but he has no music minutes on his albums to waste on laid-back serenates - these are harsh political times and too many Africans die and suffer.
Also he sings about God but never fall for the Haile Selassie trap: dictators are dictators - this is Tiken.
Musically Tiken has the best mix of Roots and African flavour I ever encountered. His music is always a shaker. He has also explored very interesting musical collaborations esp. in the Francafrique album.
I would recommend you buy yourself an album and do yourself the favour of listening to some badly needed good music with good content. a rare occasion nowadays!

ciao

Jah!.......2005-11-02

Tiken Jah Fakoly is an extremely talented reggae musician from Ivory Coast. He sings in French and English, possibly other languages, and has an outstanding band to back him up with a solid reggae groove. His music sends a message of strength, equality, peace and love. Highly recommended!
