[dealdesign0002]

reggaelinx website has this video and many others like it.

[Chillkroetemix]

epic...

[matzomaniac]

This and Wildstyle are two MUSTS for everyone who loves music... Timeless movies!

[statelybird3]

I liked this movie---it's like a slice-of-life look at Jamaica and I like how the Rastaman introduces himself and explains the whole Rasta philosophy, even if you can't understand him---the whole film's got subtitles though. Basically,if you like old-school reggae from the seventies, this is definitely worth a look!

[ArtFart001]

Love to everyone everywhere!

[joshuadecruz]

Now... This is divine music!!

[islandgyal78]

This is a must-see movie

[gimpyoot]

when he on about 'dirty harry' is that a term for someone who is tight-fisted/greedy. i heard it on a couple vinyls and now this.

[9tfp]

wats d name of the song in the beginning of the movie

[statelybird3]

@9tfp

Don't know but it's cool as heck and I'm a sucker for any song with African rhythms/drums in it. Fun film--BTW, can anybody ID the Rastaman who introduces the film---I didn't get his name in the credits. The film has a cool this-is-our-world-and welcome-to-it-vibe, so check it out, as well as the soundtrack.

[sunofman17]

@statelybird3 His government name is Ashley Harris, street named "Higher"

[sunofman17]

@9tfp "Satta Massagana"

[Mazixxxx]

[stealthho]

@CISTOLONE that riddim is called Satta... also called satta massagana

[NINEMILEBWOY]

Cheers putup the film of all films. Horsemouth at his very best. Anyone who was anyone in the Reggae world was in this film.

[Cerjooo]

name of the song?

[NINEMILEBWOY]

@Cerjooo ......It is 100 % Satta Massagana my brother in its simplest form (no studio wizardry). This is the Rasta anthem. Check Horsemouth in the background, just love his enthusiasm

[robdowling123]

So EVERYONE EVERYWHERE just co-operate in the love of I-heights to SURVIVE!

I and I support that to the fulness :)

[Tox23Gbrl]

there is a land far far away

there is no night, there's only day

[jifted]

I got to see horsemouth play with groundation about a year ago, one of the greatest honors of my life.

[moblackqb31]

i want the chune starting at 3:06

[MyNameIsKojak]

@moblackqb31 closest i can guess is certain parts of Satta Massagana by the abbyssinians it has a close melody

[splitenzfreak1980]

@moblackqb31 Yeah, MyNameIsKojak appears to be right...it really does sound like "Satta Massagana" by the Abyssinians, which you can find on their 1976 album of the same name.

[SUIsezTorino]

I love you all in the name of Jah

[muzietto]

The cream of the crop...I-rey! Selassie I

[siskiyoufire]

Best opening to any movie EVER!

I-REY! We gonna shout down babylon with JAH's mighty HERB!

[cortext36]

[ap4sp]

@Sanningsministeriet can you say exactly what it means? thanks and praises rasta

[Sanningsministeriet]

@ap4sp i'd say its something about "in my/gods divine presence and overlooking, supreme blessings are laid on everything that is good and righteous" or variations on the theme. Ites bredrin!

[DudefromEvanston]

there is a land far far away

where theres no night, theres only day

I LOVE the Abysinnians

Satta Amassagana!

[MillionsofBees]

its about Pan-African culture and the life of a struggling musician in the slums of Kingston.

Rastafari is not about "pot". They do smoke herb of wisdom, but what an idiotic comment to describe such a powerful movement of unity and togetherness over adversity, as simply a stoner culture.

Read, man. Shit

[norwooel]

haha 'read, man. shit'

words of wisdom

[lative]

"read, man. shit"

hahaha true & funny.

[mrlaroo]

Choke that chalice, big up!

[Capleton71]

It's a Nyabinghi revisitation of Bernard Collins and The Abyssinians "Satta Massagana"

[sonep511]

[brujonagual]

[eternalconsciousness]

there is a land far away

[eternalconsciousness]

well this place is supposed to be paradise,or heaven as christian call it,but in realty it is not a physical place , it is more of a state of mind or level of consciousness
