Lamb (Daniel) |
Warning:
Zeph Daniel's "Lamb" is a novel
that will capture you the very second you
start reading.
No, not just because it is a
breathtaking tale that will take you around
the world, and into bizarre situations. Even
though it is a first-class thriller full of
spectacular events and interesting
personalities. And no, not just because a
part of the story takes place in the Carrib
and has Rastas involved. Even though it's a
detail that can't be overlooked and causes a
smile of spiritual recognition that will be
confirmed throughout the book.

DoorS To Reality (Henry) |
Like
so many Jamaicans before him, Ras Howard
Henry tells us how in 1991 he left to
America to "search for the American
dream". A dream that didn't turn out to
be for everyone...
Being a conscious Rastaman, he noticed
that there were other things to do for him
than the ones he initially sought after. And
so, he "shifted his focus to assisting
the poor and downtrodden". One of the
ways in which he does so, is by speaking the
truth. Telling the things the way they are,
from his perspective as a Rastaman. And he
does so, in a very special way.
It's a way that shows what is in his
heart, what is in his eyes. Take a little
time, and you will really feel what he has
to say in a deeper way.

The Rough Guide To Reggae (Barrow and Dalton) |
There
are many books that claim to be the definite
source on Reggae Music. So many, that we
don't take such claims seriously anymore.
And because the music under continual
development, it's even logically impossible
to create a definitive guide. We're not
talking just about a music from the past, or
do we? So yeah, we have reasons to be
skeptical and even cynical when it comes to
"Guides to Reggae".
So, what about the Rough Guide To Reggae?
After all, on the cover we find claims how
the book is supposed to be a "definite
guide" as well.
