Dadawah
Peace And Love - Wadadasow
Michael George Henry (aka Ras Michael and, for this lone release, Dadawah) was born in 1943 in Saint Mary Parish, in
northeastern Jamaica. Henry was raised in a Rastafari community when the religious movement was still in its infancy and
marginalized within Jamaica. It was there that he began performing Nyahbinghi, the Rastafarian devotional music that
combines the influences of African drumming and Black gospel. Henry found himself in Kingston in the late 1950s where he
worked for Coxsone Dodd at the legendary Studio One. By 1968, he had formed the group Sons of Negus and the first
overtly Rasta record label, Zion Disc. As Rasta filtered into the mainstream, Henry released more music including albums
for Trojan, Dynamic and Grounation labels. Originally released in 1974, Peace And Love - Wadadasow is Dadawahs magnum
opus. Produced by Lloyd Charmers, the album features slinky basslines, wah-wah guitar, hypnotic keyboards, dubbed-out
studio trickery and, of course, the propulsive drumming and rhythmic chanting characteristic of Nyahbinghi. Antarctica
Starts Here presents the first widely available domestic release of Peace and Love - Wadadasow. This reissue is part of
an archival series that focuses on Trojans essential 60s and 70s catalogue. Liner notes by JR Gonne.
