Our Take

Ah, Aswad's self-titled album, a delightful blast from the past that's as smooth as a freshly buttered scone. Released in 1976, this reggae gem is a timeless classic that deserves its place in the annals of music history.

From the moment the first note hits your eardrums, you're transported to a sunny beach in Jamaica, with a piña colada in one hand and a joint in the other. The groovy basslines and soulful vocals are like a warm hug on a cold winter's day, leaving you feeling all fuzzy inside.

Tracks like "Back to Africa" and "Natural Progression" showcase Aswad's unparalleled talent for blending reggae with elements of jazz, funk, and soul. The result is a rich tapestry of sound that's as captivating as it is addictive.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. Aswad also delve into more serious topics such as racism and inequality, shining a light on the struggles faced by black communities around the world. It's a poignant reminder of the importance of unity and solidarity in the face of adversity.

Overall, Aswad's self-titled album is a true masterpiece that stands the test of time. So grab yourself a rum punch, kick back, and let the music transport you to a world of good vibes and positive energy. Trust me, you won't regret it.
