Aswad ! Increible banda. Sólida como una roca, con unos cambios armónicos magistrales, sutiles y cálidos siempre en todas sus canciones. Compás energético, coros "roots", y una base rítmica extraordinaria. (Lástima que Aswad, con el paso del tiempo, derivasen hacia un reggae muy comercial, light y electrónico). Que pena, a Steel Pulse les pasó lo mismo. Malos tiempos para el reggae. ¡ RASTAMAN VIBRATION IS POSITIVE ¡
Whos got a clip of "this is live and direct, live and direct, ya know what that mean? It mean live and direct".. Love that shit. Don't even smoke any more.
Very powerful group that not only showcase true and real reggae music but good realistic and emotional lyrics but truly wonderful vocals this is missing from reggae music today .. no longer chasing from the breeze in the concrete jungle african children but shining like a star because its not our wish that we should fight eve though three babylon come to make I and I run "back to africa" why because its just a little herb ive been saving..ASWAD must come bout live and dirct once again
Would be great to see more 'Wad material from this period.....I recall a programme called Grove Music that was on many moons ago- wondered if you had this or anything else you could share on Youtube? All the best. Bro imani
wicked clip, respect for posting. Seen Aswad many times in 80's carnival(live & direct recordings) festis' benefit gigs etc, great band sadly remembered now for Drummies lovers/pop vibe rather than radical roots rockers they were for so long !!...straight to favourites...ites !
The band's formation in 1975 and their full emergence in 1976, when they were snapped up by Island Records, marked a significant point in Reggae history because they were the first UK band to be signed by a major company. Not only was Aswad's sound authentic and militant but positively original, unlike many of their Jamaican counterparts.
Thank U 4 the post! Peace...Respect...Love!!!

There were a number of good reggae bands in the UK during the 70s and 80s, we were spoiled IMHO :-)
