In the end, it will show that reggae music has been the soundtrack of liberation from evil. Blessings to my country man Chornixx.

      When I come across new music that I like, regardless of the colour of the skin on the people playing it, I just listen to it. I find the visual tag of the musicians often tags them to genres, and that, I think, has had a negative effect upon the music itself. America has coined a phrase that I find deeply offensive, I think it's called, "Cultural Misappropriation". If it's misappropriated, then presumably you can't hear any difference between donor Culture and receiving (other cultural) misapprpriator.
      The greatest blues musicians of the early 1950's would turn in their graves to hear musicians argue ownership of a musical style or, genre, or type of sound.
      There are musicians in all ethnic races, and all ethnic races have musicians with interest in the music of others. Those who play a type of music best, will inevitably float to the top. That's just music, it's not cultural, its just difficult. It (i.e. Music) sounds shit if a bad player slaughters it and it sounds like a window to heaven when played by an adept.
      Also, refering to colours as beautiful is misappropriation of colour. Black is the absence or antithesis of colour. What it certainly isn't (in a colour setting rather than as a skin-tone) is "Beautiful". People are never black as far as I can see, and differentiating them is usuallu hapless at best and down-right racist at worst. People have names, so why refer to them as a (often very imprecise) skin colour?

He's one of my favorite artists right now and Reggae isn't even my main style of music, but it is a strong spiritual root to my music consciousness. Thanks for bringing Chronixx, great lion heart.
