Description

Add to the ever-growing list of impressive home-grown American roots reggae talent the band Soldiers of Jah Music (SOJA). This group of Washington DC-area youths, all only in their early 20s, performs with a confidence and proficiency well beyond their years, and on Peace in a Time of War, they present roots fans with a gift from above that may set a new benchmark for US reggae......Their music is full-band, live-instrument roots (except little or no horns; trust me, though, you don't miss it) performed with a sincerity that comes through in their flawless performances. Their message is righteous and unifying, their tone ranging from fiery exhortations with slight dancehall strains ("Brothers and Sisters," "Creeping In," "Reality," "Forgive Don't Forget") to muted, introspective odes with acoustic guitars and/or African drums ("Look Within," "True Love," "Rasta Courage," "Jah Atmosphere," "Mother Earth"). Lead singer Jacob Hemphill
hemp joke here) has a remarkable voice and passionate delivery seemingly made for roots reggae. He transitions effortlessly from a slightly raspy Marley-esque growl to a smoother, almost Ali Campbell-like wail that is mesmerizing. The songwriting too is amazingly strong and consistent.......... I could pick any number of tunes as standouts, from "Non Partial Non Political" to "True Love" to "Look Within" to "Reality," "Rasta Courage," "Jah Atmoshpere," and "Revolution." Peace in a Time of War is truly a breathtaking, awesome showcase for SOJA's talent. Although it isn't their debut (this is their third release to date), this set could - and, if there is any justice, should - serve as their coming out party. It is a major statement that bodes well not only for the group's potential, but also for the future of the American reggae scene.

Soldiers of Jah Army - Peace In a Time of War
En Estados Unidos de Amrica se hacen muchos estilos de msica, pero nunca pens que hicieran reggae rstico tan y tan bueno. Este es el tercer disco de esta banda, el mismo, grabado en los estudios Lion & Fox, donde grandes artistas del reggae mundial han grabado. Esta banda de, 5 miembros de Arlington, Virginia, tiene un sonido demasiado bueno y perfecto para los gustos caribeos. "Rasta Courage", "Peace In A Time of War", "Jah Atmosphere" y "Did You Ever" capturan muy bien el estilo de la banda, el cual se caracteriza por elementos acsticos con guitarra y pesada percusin Nyabinghi, mezclado todo con puro reggae rstico. Estadounidenses al fin, las letras son basadas en esperanza, unificacin y revolucin; teniendo en mente los hechos ocurridos el 11 de septiembre y la actual situacin poltica en la cual se encuentra la Nacin. Este disco es altamente recomendado y para conseguirlo pueden hacerlo a travs de: www.sojamusic.com www.soldiersofjaharmy.com.
