Rasta Reggae and Ras Tafari (Haile Selassie)




Bob Marley and the Wailers, live at the Lyceum, London, 18 July 1975.
I was there, having just returned from Ethiopia.

Good Rasta reggae (Picture on My Wall, Natural-Ites)

Selassie is the Chapel (Bob Marley)

More Bob Marley

Laurel Aitken, Lion of Judah

The Abyssinians, Ethiopia

The Abyssinians, Know Jah Today

The Abyssinians, Satta Massagana

It seems my film on Ethiopia is appreciated by Rastafarians (read comments below film; but bad sound and picture quality) - for better sound and colour, watch it here

The original 16mm film print is on long loan to the Horniman Museum, London
