ALBUM DESCRIPTION
***A GOSPELREGGAE.COM EXCLUSIVE***
This unique project is a Gospel Reggae exclusive currently available for download only.
You may have heard this group's songs featured on Lion of Zion's touchstone "Dancehall Baptism 1" CD and the label's "To The King" release. Now for the first time in almost a decade you can own thier only studio release, "Triumph in the Midst of Babylon"!
As we continue to add new releases to our growing webstore, we are constantly striving to take some of the older albums in the genre of Gospel Reggae into the digital age. Recorded in 1999 in Trinidad and Tobago, this album is a Gospel Reggae classic that we just found in our vaults and uploaded for your enjoyment. This timeless CD was a cornerstone recording for the Gospel Reggae movement in its early stage and it has always been a favorite of mine. As a die-hard fan of the genre, I have always thought that it was a shame that this album never saw the light of day outside of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
Back in 1999 this group was actually in heavy negotiations with myself and Lion of Zion Entertainment to become the first artist signed to Christafari's label, Things eventually fell through due to management problems that ultimately caused a split in the group. Since then I have kept in touch with former members of the group and some of them have continued singing and recording. The most promising artist in the lot is band founder Jason "Todah" Oniel, who is now releasing new music through GospelReggae.com's download section and working on his first solo debut.
It is a shame that nothing else happened with the band, but hopefully through this digital release their music can live on in history and in our iPods! It has been said that good things come to those who wait. In this case, almost a decade has passed, yet their creative blend of dancehall, soca, roots and culture still lives on. Download the whole album today and hear a landmark album for the Gospel Reggae genre. You won't be disappointed!
