When was the last time you got right with Jah? A day? A week? A month? A year? An entire bloody decade?
Whatever the case, it’s never too early to work some of those kinks out of your soul. So go smoke a little herb, fast for four days, re-dread your head, wrestle a lion, and contemplate the everliving.
Also, don’t miss this Wednesday’s mystical music sesh with reggae legends Black Uhuru.
Originally formed in 1972 under a slightly different name (simply Uhuru, meaning freedom in Swahili), this Kingston, Jamaica crew has reached many peaks atop Mount Irie, jamming out with Keith Richards, touring with the Clash, and winning the first-ever Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 1985.
