CaribWorldNews, NEW YORK, NY, Thurs. Mar. 19, 2009: Jamaican reggae star, Buju Banton, is set to release a new album this spring.
` Rasta Got Soul,` a roots reggae album, is set to drop on Banton`s Gargamel Music label On April 21.
It was reportedly recorded over a seven year period and marks the 43rd anniversary of the late Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie's historic visit to Jamaica in 1966.
`Rasta Got Soul,` is grounded in the tenets of roots and culture and is a far cry from the `Boom Bye Bye` song that gay activists have frequently chastised the musician for over the years.
As Banton describes it, `Rasta Got Soul features nothing but soul shifting, uplifting reggae, to inspire, to thrill, to light an inner fire, to be glorified and rejuvenated. I just want to recreate that vibe when reggae music would speak to everyone.`
