Alpha Blondy is a reggae singer and international recording artist. Many of his songs are politically and socially motivated, and are mainly sung in his native language of Dioula, French and in English, though he occasionally uses other languages, for example, Arabic or Hebrew. Alpha Blondy was born to a Muslim father and a Christian mother, and was brought up by a grandmother "who taught him to love everyone". Blondy's respect for all religions and the spirituality he derives from them can be heard on the tracks “God is One” or “Jerusalem” where he sang for unity between all religions in 1986.

Admittedly I have never heard of this singer.
The reggae singer from Ivory Coast, definitely is and sounds "something different".
Interesting performance! Thanks for sharing.
...we need more grandmothers "who teach children to love everyone".
I am not familiar with this artist but I have always loved reggae that promotes love and acceptance.
I had never heard of Alpha Blondy or his music before reading about it here. Thank you for the introduction. As usual, I learned something new here.
Wishing you a Happy Sunday!
Need more such singers!
Não conhecia e gostei bastante.
Um abraço e um bom fim-de-semana.
