« On aimerait comparer sa voix, grave, comme rarement, à une version jamaïcaine de Leonard Cohen ou Nick Cave, mieux, un Barry White rasta ! »
[ Djolo ]
« Voilà un album qui continue d’écrire l’Histoire de la musique jamaïquaine ! »
[ Culture Dub ]
« Un flow varié, entre le prêche et parfois même l’incantation du sorcier, une voix puissante, une écriture très imagée sur des instrumentales toujours originales, voilà la recette de ce disque à part. »

The poetry of Nazamba is part of the long tradition of great writers and singers from Jamaica. Drawing his inspiration from Claude McKay, LKJ, Prince Far I and Olive Lewin, the native from Clarendon uses his pen and his inimitable flow to plunge the listener into his sonic tales. Each of these tracks is a story to immerse yourself in, bathed in Jamaican patois and rocked by the dub riddims of OBF.
Nazamba‘s deep and captivating voice transports us into his everyday life in Kingston, whilst tackling universal themes. Militant and politically engaged, his music is a conduit to fight against misconceptions (‘Africa’, ‘Medication Tree’), oppression (‘Politricks’), hatred (‘People’), violence (‘Run !’) and injustice (‘Badmind’).
