Biography

RSS
Doctor Dread, head of DC's RAS Records, brought a touring group of Rastafarian men and women into the studio in 1990 (people with names like Ras Headful and Bongo Shep) and came out with one of the only recordings ever of a legitimate "grounation." This Rastafarian religious gathering is replete with preaching, testimony, and timeless music, the essential heartbeat "riddim" upon which all Jamaican music of the past 30 years has been based. ~ Roger Steffens, All Music Guide
