Rastaman from Banjul-London by Jally Kebba Susso
Addresses the sometime negative misconceptions of Rasta and calls for repatriation of anybody who identifies himself or herself as African to Africa.
"The full band punch is evident right from the [album's] opening 'Rastaman', an atypical tune that turns on a dub reggae axis." Songlines, UK (2017)

Lyrics
Paraphrased from Mandinka: Rasta isn’t about negativity. It doesn’t make anyone a criminal or a lunatic. It doesn’t make someone to be less trustworthy. It’s about unity. And repatriation of anybody who identifies themselves as African to Africa.
