In my opinion, Burning Spear has become t0o focused around pleasing the pop-culture base and mass-touring and has lost some of the emotion and force its ealier music contains. 'Calling Rastafari' is still better than 90% of the reggae on the market, but is not up to Burning Spear Standard. Rastafari is an Abrahamic new religious movement that accepts Haile Selassie I, the Ethiopian emperor from 1930 to 1974 as God incarnate and the Messiah who will deliver believers to the Promised Land, identified by Rastas as Ethiopia. It has its roots in black-empowerment and back-to-Africa movements. – Culture: Calling Rastafari: A2 – Gladiators. Small Axe: A3 – Mighty Diamonds. 4000 Years: A4 – Itals.

Rastafarian words and phrases are a combination of English dialect and Jamaican Patois spoken primarily by Rastafarians. The Rastafarian language is actually much easier to learn than Jamaican Patois because it’s mostly a play on English words (e.g. “overstand” for “understand”,“downpress” for “oppress”,“ I-ditate” for “meditate” etc…) rather than being an entirely separate dialect as with Jamaican Patois.
