Product Description

Album Description

Focusing on the raw, 'ethnic' sounds created by a handful of Rasta percussionists, this 3 CD set gathers 50 essential 'Nyahbinghi' sides from the sixties & early seventies. At the time of their original release, most of these recordings were considered way too off-beam by the general listening public and, as a result, the discs faded into obscurity. Today, however, there is a renewed interest in these often dark & moody sounds, with collectors paying vast sums for early examples of the genre. This release should therefore not only satisfy the demands of these numerous fans, but also introduce the hypnotic style to a whole new listening public. Three paper sleeves in a deluxe flip-top box. Trojan. 2003.

Nyahbinghi Feb 24 2004
By Drusca
Format:Audio CD
This is a wonderful set, but I've tried two different copies and both of them had the same problem on tracks 11 & 12 of the 3rd cd: they stop playing about a minute and a half into the track. You can get past that problematic spot if you fast forward a little, but it's annoying nonetheless.

The set features the complete Ras Michael & the Sons of Negus "Nyahbinghi" album and the complete Dadawah "Peace & Love" set, plus an additional track. Both are pretty amazing.

Very good, but too much Ras Michael Dec 3 2004
By Dries - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I was always a big fan of nyabinghi music. If you are not familiar with nyabinghi, think "Rastaman Chant" by Bob Marley; it's a very African sounding folk music style of the rasta religion in Jamaica. When I bought this I expected nothing but nyabinghi music, but when I first played it I was a little dissapointed because a lot of it is simply old school dub with bongo's in it (which I also liked, but it was not the reason I bought this album). But after a while I began to really like the albums. There are too many Ras Michael/Dadawah songs on it, most of them are boring, but there are lots of cool and rare songs on here you wouldn't have discovered anywhere else: like the songs of Bongo Herman (bongo reworkings of classics like Yim mas gan; The liquidator, my conversation, drum song (not the studio one version though)), Roland Downer who sings in amharic over a jazzy backing, the Jimmy Cliff track is cool, the Linkers, Al Vibrators (before he turned into a German porn star, that is), Samuel the First dj-ing over the Melodians "Rivers of Babylon", I Roy dj-ing over Audrey Rollins "Repatriation" (+ version), the calypso music of one Boston Jack, all very very nice. I would recommend this, although it's not 100% nyabinghi music. I would also recommend that you get seriously blunted while listening to it. Only then will you fully understand it.
