Alpha Blondy
Neither Jamaican (he was born and raised on the Ivory Coast and educated in New York), nor strictly a Rastafarian (he sings of Jah but holds ecumenical religious views), Alpha Blondy is one of the great roots-reggae artists. A musical disciple of Bob Marley, Burning Spear, and other progressive reggae singers, Alpha Blondy began recording his politically conscious music in the 1980s, and quickly caught on with international audiences, due in part to his penchant for multilingual singing and a compassionate world view.
