As we love all styles of Jamaican music and have a special preference for the jazz infused sounds, this next release comes in a melodious ska/jazz fashion. Two Black Redemption classics recut in the ‘Far East’ by none other than Mighty Massa – Fred Lock’s ‘Jah Is The Father’ and Tony Tuff’s ‘Military’.
As both original cuts are dancehall-approved anthems, there is not much to say – just press play on those special ska versions, feel the vibe and rock to the rhythm…

Mighty Massa ft. Fred Locks – Jah Is The Father [BR1022]
https://blackredemptionsounds.bandcamp.com/album/sound-system-selection-part-two
 
‘…Jah is the father
and he is of the order
of Melchizedek
 
we call him Jah
for he is Jahovia
we call him Rastafari
cause he is the headcreator
don’t you know
his name is Haile Selassie I
the power of the Holy Trinity
so we can not deny
his divinity
can’t you see
 
Jah is the father
and he is of the order
of Melchizedek
 
a father of the fatherless
and a judge of the widows
it’s my God, it’s my God
in his holy habitation
don’t you know
he is the father of creation
the conquering man lion
and his dwelling place is in Mount Zion
don’t you know
 
Jah is the father
and he is of the order
of Melchizedek
 
lift up your voices
all you nations
and give thanks and praises
to the father of creation
Emperor Haile I Selassie I the first
who he bless
no one can curse
and I thank the Most High
we are not the worst
 
Jah is the father
and he is of the order
of Melchizedek…’
