If you are one of those who believes that Jamaica no longer
produces authentic roots rock reggae music, you need to get a copy of Mikey
General’s latest album, “African Story, African Glory”. The album was released
on December 7th on his Qabalah First Music Label and it’s his 11th
studio recording. African Story, African Glory displays the best of Mikey
General, from his vocal reach to his song writing abilities, all are paraded on
this 16 track CD.
In conventional style, Mikey’s introduction is a prayer
spoken in the Ethopian tongue, Amharic. Immediately after track one he goes
right into tracks two through sixteen with no interludes just nonstop music. As
expected most of the songs are of a spiritual nature giving praises to the Most
High God while others highlights the importance of African people knowing
themselves and their history. Guest appearances are made by Toussaint, Lutan
Fyah and Ifa Tunde.
Though a couple of the songs seem to have been recorded
abroad, most of the album was produced in Jamaica, the home of Reggae music. Executive
producers are Michael Taylor and Lloyd Stewart. African Story, African Glory is
distributed by High Power Music Inc and can be purchased at Ernie B, CD Baby, I-tunes
and all major music outlets.
