Not a fan of music videos to begin with, but this one is especially bad. The music? Eh. Not very tight in vocals and the rhythm flow lags and lumps along. Though reggae ain't my first love, I do like good reggae that lays a groove. This one struggles to find a groove, and sorry to say the struggle is all too obvious. Sorry, Zumbi. I'll have to pass.

Zumbi, haven't listened to much reggae since Bob Marley. Could not feel the first vocalist at all. Some of the others were pretty good, in spite of the psychedelic shackish guitar riffs getting in the way. With a more traditional lead guitar sound, and a stronger bass, I probably would have enjoyed it a lot.

Not wishing to knock you efforts but comming from the Caribbean I am sorry to say this is pretty awful. Do a search on Sly and Robbie these are the riddim masters for most top stars like Gregory Isaacs etc
Since this is hand drum board here is some classic nyabinghi drumming
