On July 23rd Rastafarians celebrated Emperor Haile Selassie I’s birthday. On that date this year, Chezidek’s highly anticipated album, Hello Africa, was released by Tad’s International Record. It is his second collection of songs to be released in three months, following Timeless, a set he did with Ligerians, a French band. Hello Africa, which features several of Jamaica’s top musicians including guitarist Mitchum “Khan” Chin and keyboardist Robbie Lyn, maybe the Jamaican roots singer’s most militant work to date.
