Background notes
Archive material and source history
Rasta was a reggae band that formed in Jamaica in the early 1970s. Their music drew from the Rastafarian movement, with lyrics that often addressed social issues and resistance. The song 'Burning Black' came out in 1975 and became one of their most recognized tracks.
They recorded other songs like 'Origin Of Me' and 'Hakkah,' working in a roots reggae style. The band faced some censorship and hostility during their early years, but they kept performing and recording through the 1970s.
Their albums included titles like 'Babylon Bound' and 'Jah Rastafari.' While not elaborating on a grand legacy, their music found listeners who connected with its themes of empowerment and unity.
