Buju Banton Returns With New Album

Jamaican music icon Buju Banton's highly anticipated roots reggae album, Rasta Got Soul will be in stores on April 21. Recorded over a seven year period at Buju's Gargamel Music studio, the long-awaited project will be available in stores and online.

Rasta Got Soul is described as his most musically audacious work to date. Rife with positive messages grounded in the tenets of Rastafari, Banton created organic reggae rhythms and crafted a select aggregation of the island's finest musicians.

The way Buju describes it is "soul shifting, uplifting reggae, to inspire, to thrill, to light an inner fire, to be glorified and rejuvenated."

I'm a Buju Banton fan going back to the "Boom Bye Bye" days, before he embraced Rastafarianism and I've always loved his music. This album is probably going to be another classic.
