Alpha Blondy - Jerusalem
Saturday night is music night on this blog, and I try to bring something different. Check this guy out. A stunning and very unusual voice backed up by a brilliant band, enjoy. Peace to all. Eddie
Alpha Blondy is a reggae singer and international recording artist. Many of his songs are politically and socially motivated, and are mainly sung in his native language of Dioula, French and in English, though he occasionally uses other languages, for example, Arabic or Hebrew. Alpha Blondy was born to a Muslim father and a Christian mother, and was brought up by a grandmother "who taught him to love everyone". Blondy's respect for all religions and the spirituality he derives from them can be heard on the tracks “God is One” or “Jerusalem” where he sang for unity between all religions in 1986.
