Album of the moment: Luciano - The Qabalah Man
Reggae | Friday 6th December 2013 | Noam
Luciano’s new album, The Qabalah Man is definitely a release worth checking out. With some big features such as Bob Andy and U Roy, who have witnessed the early developments of reggae music and a good eclectic, timeless mix of dub, roots and nu roots sounds; Luciano reminds us of his wide array of influences and where he’s coming from.
With just a glance at the name of the album and the track list, there is no denying that it carries a message, if not several messages. Indeed, from politically to spiritually loaded lyrics, Luciano’s album is a well-rounded piece of work.
No wonder Blood Shanti (one of the Shanti-Ites) thinks that ‘from the Jamaican side, Luciano runs things, no doubt. His music encourages togetherness and strength, so that is a musical vibe that brings people together, encouraging people to think of one power, instead of ego obsession.’ (Interview with Gregory Mario Whitfield, 2002, http://www.uncarved.org/dub/aba/aba.html)
