When reggae music was beautiful. Had message….., told with passion. Not the garbage moonlighting as reggae these days. RIP legend

[paolobarboni]

Bunny, you're still alive! Great and deepest bass line, ipnotic tune, great message for everyone!

[brunohaushahn]

He was a legend of Roots Reggae music. A true icon of black resistance music and a real devotee and spreader of Rastafari faith. This video is a masterpiece. What a bass line! The riffs of the trumpets come in perfect harmony with the bass line. Heavy spiritual music. Rest in power, freedom fighter!

I was lucky enough to be at this show - they didn’t include entire sets in the dvd but my recollection is that none of the artists did super long sets - it moved along pretty quickly.

We been down in the valley much too long
We been down in a poverty oh so long, yeah
We been down in captivity much too long
We been down in humility, and oh so long

So rise and shine and win your liberations
For now is the time when all nations must be free
So, rise and shine - restore your strength and power
Waste no more time - remember your history

(..)

We been down in a sufferation much too long
We been down in humiliation oh so long, yeah
We been down in a condemnation much too long
We been down in a segregation oh so long

So rise and shine as the morning sun that surrounds you
It's international morality time - where mankind must be born anew


So, rise and shine for the sake of the sake of the younger generations
Put your hearts and minds to brotherhood and unity

We been down in the valley much too long
We been down in a poverty oh so long, yeah
We been down in captivity much too long
We been down in humility, and oh so long

We been down in a sufferation much too long
We been down in a tribulation oh so long, yeah
We been down in a condemnation much too long
And we been down in a segregation oh so long, yeah-yeah

We been down in the valley much too long
We been down in a poverty oh so long, yeah
We been down in captivity much too long
We been down in humility oh so long

Rise and Shine I-tinually Bunny Wailer. This piece is so sublime, it is hard to believe it was done by humans! In this piece, you and your band were only vessels but it was the angels singing in you. Rest in Peace.
