Background notes
Archive material and source history
Rasta Chala was a Jamaican reggae band that formed in the late 1970s. Their 1981 album 'Milagrero' gave them their breakthrough, with the title track becoming one of their most recognizable songs. The band's lineup included Zeph Byron on lead vocals, Ernest 'Dr. Dread' Wilson on keyboards, Garth Dennis on bass, and the sibling duo Horace and Keith Anthony Stewart from the Twinkle Brothers.
Their sound blended Rastafarian spirituality with social commentary, which sometimes put them at odds with the established reggae industry of the time. They built a following through live performances and self-released recordings before 'Milagrero' brought them wider attention. Other songs like '7º Hijo' and 'Africa' also became part of their repertoire.
After 'Milagrero,' they continued recording through the 1980s and early 1990s, releasing albums like 'Forward' in 1984 and a self-titled album in 1991. Their music maintained the organ-driven grooves and vocal style that characterized their earlier work, though they never quite matched the commercial reach of that 1981 breakthrough.
