Description
Angels Sing is a special edition Akae Beka showcase ep featuring vocal and lyrical contributions from four top tier reggae talents including 2023 Grammy winner Kabaka Pyramid, Micah Shemaiah, Jah9, and ex-Black Uhuru Michael Rose. Zion High Productions’ producer JAH David adds four dub mixes for a complete roots and culture reggae showcase experience.
World renowned chanter and lyricist Vaughn Benjamin is perhaps best known for his many years as the charismatic frontman of Midnite, but his later years as Akae Beka ushered in an era when his work with the Zion I Kings producers collective explored new musical horizons. Angels Sing pushes these boundaries in inspired melodic and harmonic directions again by pairing Vaughn Benjamin’s distinctive and timeless vocals with four instantly recognizable reggae voices.
The Zion I Kings are joined on Angels Sing by an array of talented musicians including drums (Roberto Sanchez, Craig Taylor, and Jonathan “Rankine Jedd” Rankine), keyboards (Andrew “Drew Keys” Stoch), trombone (Okiel Mcintyre, Andrew “Drew Keys” Stoch), saxophone (Donald “Jah Bless” Toney), trumpet (Okiel Mcintyre), flute (Zoe Brown), and kette (Andrew “Bassie” Campbell). Background vocals are by Roberto Sanchez and Ruel Klyve Moncrieffe.
Ato K.D. Robert’s striking and colorful cover art depicts the assembled reggae angels gathered around the rainbow circle throne of H.I.M. Emperor Haile Selassie I.
In 2023, Zion High Productions is celebrating 20 years of “crucial Rastafari music for these crucial times.
