I was told it is "Rasta Want Peace" by The Ravers. The track was never released as far as I know.

Here are a few artists i think you should consider interviewing:

Bill Laswell

Alpha & Omega

Bunny Wailer

Jah Shaka

Kultiration

Dan I (Imperial Sound Army)

Scientist

I am really looking forward in anticipation 2 this documentary :) it is needed and the timing is perfect.

Of course if they do hold sunsplash again I will watch it there!

There are even more artists than what you have listed that I would love to include but because of time and money production is limited. Also, at this point the film is pretty much finished. Just a few titles and subtitles to add.

We spoke with Bunny Wailer several times about having him be a part of the film, same with Burning Spear, and for what ever reason they chose not to.

1:26 love that guy, i wanna smoke with him.....

[rogerhall77]

That's Joseph Hill from Culture. Unfortunately he is no longer with us. He was amazing person. Hopefully at some point we can release his entire interview. It's a great one.

I see, that seems strange but fair play to them... Well, your film seems like its going to be something of a spectacle anyway. Keep up works like this.

I would love to be a part of such a production, it must have been incredible to interview such characters and visit such places.
