Editorial review
Jah Rastafari Isaac Haile Selassie is recognized in Africa and Jamaica as a teacher, leader and hero. He brings his powerful spiritual and musical presence to Unite, a collection of reggae songs reminding the world about the importance of peace. Unite features a backing band of prominent, like-minded musicians, including Santa Davis (Peter Tosh's drummer), Fishbone's Spacey Singleton on guitar and Richard Hardy of the Dave Matthews Band on flute. A horn section and choir of background singers add resonance to this thoughtful, positive album, making it required listening for reggae fans and those concerned about the state of the world today. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
In the annals of reggae music and its devotion to the His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie, one thing becomes striking by its absence: the lack of Ethiopian voices giving thanks and praise to the Almighty God through the teachings of His Majesty.
Now, from Addis Ababa, by way of Southern California, comes a striking new voice whose direct links to the King of Kings are stronger than any other singer and player of instruments this century has known.
If that seems hyperbole, consider the fact that Isaac Haile Selassie not only carries the Imperial name, but was, in fact, raised under the supervision of His Majesty.
"I have been blessed," recalls the singer from his cozy hillside cottage in Los Angeles, "to have been raised in the care of His Imperial Majesty personally, at his boarding school a few miles from the palace.
I used to see him at least once a week throughout my childhood.
