Background notes
Archive material and source history
Triston Palma is a Jamaican reggae singer who recorded in the late 1970s and early 1980s. His most well-known track is "Joker Smoker," a roots reggae tune produced by Henry "Junjo" Lawes.
He worked with several producers during that era, including Linval Thompson, who produced tracks like "Go To Praise Jah Jah." His music often dealt with Rastafarian themes and social commentary, as heard in songs such as "Babylon" and "Peace And Love In The Ghetto."
Unlike the mysterious collective described in some unreliable sources, Triston Palma was a solo vocalist active in Jamaica's reggae scene. His recordings from that period continue to be played by reggae enthusiasts and collectors.
