ALBUM DESCRIPTION

Birthed in 1989 out of a love for the Lord and a passion for winning the lost through reggae music, Christafari has released 10 albums, performed in 46 states, 50 countries, before 2 Olympic Games and even played for the President of the United States! It's hard to believe that 20 years into their ministry these gospel reggae pioneers would have their best-year-ever with more shows, better sales and more souls coming to Christ than before!  

In early 2009, this massive 10-piece ensemble took a break from their hectic touring schedule to create a landmark album that celebrates their 20 years in the ministry. Rather than resting on their laurels, they wrote a string of new hits, that when woven together create a musical tapestry that is sure to withstand the test of time.

The 15 anthems that grace this revolutionary project are a modern take on Christafari's classic signature sound (all live instruments including wailing guitars, rich harmonies and a brazen horn section). The vast majority of the songs are roots and culture with elements of dancehall, hip-hop, soca and touches of rock. One thing that sets this album apart from the rest is the sheer number of guest appearances (over 30 artists) including some of the top names in gospel reggae, hip hop and worship. Everyone wants to be a part of this musical milestone!

MINISTRY STATEMENT: At the end of every Christafari show, bandleader and Pastor Mark Mohr gives an invitation. Thousands come to know the Lord through this powerful ministry each year. Inspired by gospel music pioneer Keith Green, this album has an even stronger evangelical tilt than previous offerings with songs like "Whosoever," and "Try Jah Love." The project also has a strong anti-drug message with tracks like "Most High" and "Pure Meditations." "Gwaan Natty" reveals Christafari's passion for reaching Rastafarians, while "The Protesters" unites all gospel reggae artists against abortion in an effort to stop the "Silent Holocaust". More intimate songs like "Taking in the Son" and "Messiah" lead the listener into a time of worship.
