“For over 400 years, more than 15 million men, women and children were the victims of the tragic transatlantic slave trade”, which was “the largest forced migration in history, and undeniably one of the most inhumane” according to the United Nations. “Millions perished during the slave trade and the massacre which occurred in Middle Passage is one of the untold stories of American and global history.

Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta

There was a Buffalo Soldier

In the heart of America

Stolen from Africa, brought to America

Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

I mean it, when I analyse the stench

To me, it makes a lot of sense

How the Dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo Soldier

And he was taken from Africa, brought to America

Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta

Buffalo Soldier, in the heart of America

If you know your history

Then you would know where you coming from

Then you wouldn't have to ask me

Who the heck do I think I am

I'm just a Buffalo Soldier

In the heart of America

Stolen from Africa, brought to America

Said he was fighting on arrival

Fighting for survival

Said he was a Buffalo Soldier

Win the war for America

Let the Music Play

Shannon

We started dancing

And love put us into a groove

As soon as we started to move

The music played while our bodies

Displayed through the dance

Then love picked us out for romance

I thought it was clear

The plan was we would share this feeling

Just between ourselves

But when the music changed

The plan was re-arranged

He went to dance with someone else

We started dancing

And love put us into a groove

But now he's with somebody new

What does love want me to do

Love said

Let the music play

Let the music play

He won't get away

He tried pretending

A dance is just a dance but I see

He's dancing his way back to me

Guess he's discovered

We are truly lovers

Magic from the very start

'Cause love just kept me groovin'

And he felt me movin'

Even though we danced apart

Winston Jarrett 1940)is a Jamaican reggae singer who was part of Alton Ellis's group The Flames in the 1960s before recording with The Righteous Flames and as a solo artist. Born in 1940 in Lime Tree Gardens, Saint Ann Parish, Jarrett grew up in the Jones Town area of Kingston after moving there with his mother at the age of five. There, he was taught to play guitar by Jimmy Cliff and Alton Ellis. Jarrett's introduction to the music industry was as a member of Alton Ellis's backing band The Flames in the early 1960s, formed when Ellis's original singing partner Eddie Perkins emigrated to the US, singing on hits such as "Dancecrasher", "Cry Tough", "Rocksteady" and "Girl I've Got a Date". While with Ellis he wrote songs such as "Sunday Coming" and "True Born African". In 1967, Jarrett parted ways with the UK-bound Ellis and with fellow Flame Edgar "Egga" Gardner formed The Righteous Flames with Junior Green, and the trio recorded for Arthur "Duke" Reid's Treasure Isle label and then for Clement "Coxsone" Dodd's Studio Onelabel. In 1969 recorded for Lee "Scratch" Perry ("Zion I Love You"). In 1970s, tired of recording for others without receiving adequate payment, Jarrett self-produced much of his output, releasing it on his own Attra, Human Rights and Humble labels. Jarrett recorded as a solo artist in the late 1970s and 1980s, releasing the Wise Man album in 1979 and Rocking Vibration in 1984. He re-formed the Flames, releasing the album Jonestown in the late 1980s, and in the early 1990s recorded a tribute album to Bob Marley, also featuring Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer.
