Kiddus-I Profile
Kiddus I is the mysterious figure singing at the start of the film Rockers.
A graduate of Ras Michael's Sons Of Negus,
a key member of The Wailers milieu,
and a Black Ark artist, his recordings
- centred on the Roots Reggae period
- are marked by the openness of their musical horizons,
and a striking originality and integrity.
(Also during this era he was a key voice raised in the Jamaican music industry against political oppression.)
Yet Kiddus I's disdain for careerism has held him back from the spotlight
- as so many people in Jamaican music will tell you.
Now, this revelatory,
comprehensive retrospective will surely confirm his place amongst the all-time greats of reggae music. |
