The record is playing for the first time in this Video. The sound quality is amazing for a 1974 Jamaica record. Use headphones, so you can hear the great stereo effect.

Love will awake all lovely things of the past. Drink to starlight peace. „Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands and Prince and Princesses shall come out of Egypt. For I will say unto the North give up, and to the South keep not back, send my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth, and each and everyone that is called by name Jah“.
The Rastafarians are a religeous group in Jamaica who believe the his Imperial Majesty HAILE SELASSIE is the returned Messiah.
The „Sons Of Negus“ believe that the greatest asset to any nation is its Musical and religious culture. They also believe that their group was not put together by man but by God / H.I.M. OMINI PRESENT.
Though in their native land of Ethiopia they are known as DEPTHA RAS the memory of that their African culture and language was beaten out and trodden underfoot through slave trade which haunts them and is ever present in their music.
I and I with pride do ask what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us that we should be called the Sons of God. Therefore love ye one to another for he that loveth is of God, Remember love will awaken all lovely things of the past.
Ras Michael (Testa Zion)
Sons Of Negus
We now ask you to sit quietly and listen attentively while you meditate as „THE SONS OF NEGUS“ take you on a cultural and musical inspirational journey to „THE FREEDOM SOUNDS“.
