The Abyssini­ans are con­sid­ered one of the most impor­tant and spir­i­tu­al roots reg­gae groups Jamaica has ever pro­duced. Found­ed in the late 1960s by Bernard Collins and Don­ald Man­ning, who were lat­er joined by Lin­ford Man­ning (Donald’s broth­er), they defined the “roots” sound with their unique har­monies, pro­found Ras­ta themes, and hyp­not­ic melodies. Their first major hit was the song “Sat­ta Mas­sagana,” which quick­ly became an unof­fi­cial reg­gae anthem; its title comes from the Ethiopi­an Amhar­ic lan­guage and means “give thanks and praise.” Even decades after their first record­ings, con­certs by The Abyssini­ans are con­sid­ered a rare oppor­tu­ni­ty to expe­ri­ence the true essence of roots reg­gae live.

Lone Ranger is one of the defin­ing voic­es of the Jamaican reg­gae and dance­hall scene of the ear­ly 1980s. He became famous for his dis­tinc­tive DJ style and clas­sics like “M16” and “John­ny Make You Bad So.” With his ener­getic stage pres­ence and authen­tic roots vibe, he con­tin­ues to thrill reg­gae fans world­wide to this day.
