Description:

Rastafarian religion has been much misunderstood and rarely celebrated
with force and abandon. In these three documentary films, the late Jah
Bones sets out the Rasta agenda and illustrates it with drums, music,
poems and praises from dedicated Rasta interpreters like Jah Shepherd,
Ras Anum Iyapo and Cosmo Ben Imhotep. Shot in London and Nottingham in
the early 90s, the three films form a unique document of Rasta history,
beliefs and artisticcreation. PART ONE: Nyabinghi Blood & Fire -
Filmed at the Rastafari Universal Zion HQ in Tottenham, London,
nyabinghi is the sacred drumming ritual that calls on thunder,
lightning, brimstone, blood and fire to burn and destroy the weakheart
and promote the righteous. This is a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity to
see a real nyabinghi, with its spiritual African heartbeat, its verbal
aggression to chant down Babylon, and its sheer power. PART TWO: Blues
For Rastfari - Shot mainly at the Simba Project, Woolwich, London, it
deals with the historical dimension and roots of Rastafari - in the
Empire of Kush, 400 BC in Central Africa, in the mix of African and
Christian Biblical traditions during slavery, including pocomania in
Jamaica, with the rise of Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement
Association and the persecution of early pioneers in the maroon
tradition like Howell at Pinnacle, Jamaica. It culminates in the
reception given to Emperor Haile Selassie at Kingston Airport and the
eventual globalization of the faith. PART THREE: Word Sounds &
Powah - Shot in London and at Matismela, in the Marcus Garvey Centre,
Nottingham, this episode describes various notions of livity - Rasta as
a way of life, as a life-force, as a sense of well-being, as a
receptacle of love and creation, as humility in the face of human and
corporate greed, and as a teaching which opposes isms and schisms.
Musical interpretation is provided by The Naturalites, who, amongst
other praises to Jah, sing their classic anthem Picture On The Wall.
