‘Lectric Diaspora

“Versioning” is at the heart not only of reggae but *all* Afro-American and Caribbean musics… It’s a democratic principle because it implies that no one has the final say. – Dick Hebdige, Cut ‘n’ Mix

    Damn fine collection of smokers here AK! I’ll be checking out more Mulatu Astatqé after this. Never heard that Greyboy track before. You can’t go wrong with him but that’s is one sick burner!
