Cult classic Aba Shanti-I & Shanti-Ites material from 1999 – rare CD copies –
Jericho Walls Verse III is another testament to the sound that has gained The Shanti-Ites (headed up by Aba Shanti-I’s brother Blood Shanti) & Aba Shanti-I so much reverence in the soundsystem world over the last decades. Pure & melodic, endlessly deep, somehow haunting, yet kinda sweet & soulful…. But ultimately, once played at the right volume, thunderously heavyweight dub –
Features soundsystem classics such as ‘Guidance And Protection’, ‘Shanti-Ites’ (we’ve seen the dance go crazy to this one when Aba dropped it in the Kuumba centre – those snare fills and that bassline go hard)
The LP version is very hard to find and expensive second hand, and even this CD can go for high prices – but we got some direct from the Falasha HQ, love to Blood Shanti.
Also check our site for more Falasha 12″ including the 90’s dubplate series, and some Aba Shanti-I ‘Sound Of Jah Lightning And Thunder’ Tshirts.
Original CD copies from 1999.
