Product information "Judah Eskender Tafari - Great Escape / Bezos Vs. Musk (7") "
Daptone goes Reggae
While far from a household name in reggae, Judah Eskender Tafari
cultivated a loyal fanbase and respectable catalogue during his
recording career. The Studio One single, "Rastafari Tell You" sits at
the top of a small set of deep cuts he recorded for Coxson Dodd's famed
studio starting in 1978. These have continued to find a place at roots
reggae sound systems and DJ rub-a-dub parties after nearly five decades.
The earnest lyrics and spiritual mission of these early recordings
would define Judah's entire career, extending through the decades to
"Great Escape", a new Daptone 45 produced by label stalwart Victor
Axelrod. The song alludes to the Old Testament in a vision of mankind
gone astray, trying to escape the confines of Earth for salvation.
Axelrod provides a lush roots backdrop against which Eskender shines in a
way we haven't heard in years.
