In 1985 the Swedish Rastaman Iya Karna moved to Jamaica to compose and play together with Rupert Wellington and Delroy Hines from Burning Spear. A couple of singles were released in Jamaica.
At one of those studio-sessions, Iya Karna met Alvin ?Seeco? Patterson, percussion player with The Wailers. Later on, when Aston ?Familyman? Barret, legendary bass-player and producer, came to hear the music of Iya Karna, he liked it so much that they agreed to record an album with The Wailers in Tuff Gong studios.
The co-operation gave birth to ten tunes featuring the legendary Barret brothers, Carlton and Aston on drums and bass, Earl ?Wya? Lindo on keyboard, Earl ?Chinna? Smith on guitar and on backing vocals Judy Mowatt and Marcia Griffiths.
Inkarnation became one of Carlton Barrett's last recordings. He passed away only weeks after the recording. This is ?One Drop? at it's best, with the reggae drum master behind the drum-kit.
