Updated 1 day ago
Roots reggae is a subgenre of reggae that deals with the everyday lives and aspirations of Africans and those in the African Diaspora, including the spiritual side of Rastafari, black liberation, revolution and the honouring of God, called Jah by Rastafarians. It is identified with the life of the ghetto sufferer, and the rural poor. Lyrical themes include spirituality and religion, struggles by artists, poverty, black pride, social issues, resistance to fascism, capitalism, corrupt government and racial oppression. A spiritual repatriation to Africa is a common theme in roots reggae.

Busy Signal - The Gambler (Official Visual)
Rasta Vibration“The Gambler” was originally written by Don Schlitz in 1976. The song became famous after Kenny Rogers made his version in 1978, which turned it into a huge country crossover hit. The song uses the metaphor of gambling (cards, “holding ‘em,” “folding,” etc.) to give advice about life. Some key themes: Knowing when to take risks versus when to get out of a situation. Recognizing that life has ups and downs — sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Accepting uncertainty and having the wisdom to make decisions under pressure. Realizing that you can’t always plan when to count your wins — there is a time for reflection, a time for action.

Culture - The Land We Belong (2001 Digital Remaster)
Rasta Vibration“The Land We Belong” is a heartfelt reggae song penned by Joseph Hill, lead singer of Culture. The lyrics paint a vivid spiritual and historical picture: they evoke the trauma of enslavement, with imagery of being “brought here in captivity… bound in link and chains,” and a plea for liberation through divine intervention—“Amasa Gana please set us free.” At its core, the song expresses a longing to return to the ancestral homeland, a recurring theme in Rastafarian consciousness and roots reggae ethos. “The Land We Belong” is more than a song—it’s a spiritual yearning. It reflects the collective memory of displacement due to the slave trade and serves as a call for divine release and repatriation. Rooted in Rosa’s religious worldview, it's also a powerful expression of heritage, resistance, and hope. Joseph Hill’s soulful writing and Culture’s profound vocal delivery enshrine this track within the pantheon of conscious roots reggae.
