THE ETHIOPIANS
"The Ethiopians" (Originally "The Ethiopian Children") is one of Jamaica's most influential vocal groups. Not only did the original quartet (Leonard Dillon, Wally Booker, Harold Bishop & Neville Duncan) spearhead the transition between Ska and Rocksteady, Dillon's heavily Rastafarian lyrics also paved the way for the socially conscious roots reggae era that was to come.
ERIC "MONTY" MORRIS
Eric "Monty" Morris (born c.1942) is a ska singer and one of the foundation artists of original SKA. Morris grew up in the Trench Town area of Kingston and like many singers of the era, Morris started by competing in talent contests in the early 1950s, including Vere Johns' Opportunity Hour, and made his first recording with Derrick Morgan.
JAH KINGS
America's top indigenous reggae band from THE ICONIC "JAH KINGS" , a melodic multicultural band led by African/Native American Lakota warrior Alexander "Kofi" Washington, they are a force to be reckoned with on the reggae scene.
Jah Kings brings that authentic Reggae music intertwined with Traditional Lakota chants. "African Diaspora" & "Wounded Knee" are just two of their many hit songs.
