“Marcus Garvey to Traoré: Africa Rising, Babylon Fading”

This episode of Reggae Hour Salute opens with a foundation stone:Burning Spear – Marcus Garvey.From there, Mr. E and Zionya step into one of the most important conversations of the entire series — Africa reclaiming itself.We break down the recent African coups, with a focused look at Burkina Faso and the leadership of Ibrahim Traoré, examining what self-determination looks like in real time when nations reject colonial control and economic extraction. The conversation connects African liberation directly to Jamaican independence, Garveyism, and Rastafarian consciousness, showing how reggae has always been the global messenger for these movements.This is not hype.This is history moving forward.The music that follows carries that same revolutionary spirit — roots, resistance, and reason — reminding us that reggae has always documented the fall of Babylon long before headlines caught up.🎶 FULL TRACKLIST (FROM IMAGES + OPENING SELECTION)Marcus Garvey – Burning SpearCulture Brown – Move Up (Album: Go Dehaug 2025)I Appreciate Dads – EcspeditionLoyalty – Don DadaGive Me Long Days – Blazem Rasta (Aire State Riddim)Is This Love – Bob Marley & The WailersAmsterdam Everywhere I Am – Cheezy and the CrackersLove Is the Answer – Iyah Angel (Jah SoulJah Riddim)Sick for Love – King I MusicFocus Herbs – Stoneface Priest (Medi Riddim)Inna Yard – Anthony BWe Can Do Better – SizzlaIn Addis Ababa (Dub) – Runkus🔗 AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE (FTC COMPLIANT)This episode of Reggae Hour Salute contains affiliate relationships.• Zeevo Life — Reggae Hour may earn a commission if you choose to support your wellness journey through zeevo dot life.
