	Jah Shaka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jah Shaka has been operating a London-based roots reggae soundsystem since the early 1970s.
		His refusal to compromise inspired a host of new UK reggae artists such as The Disciples, Iration Steppas, Jah Warrior, Conscious Sounds, The Rootsman and Abashanti-I. Non-reggae artists such as Basement Jaxx have also cited Jah Shaka as an influence during interviews.
		In 1980 Shaka played himself in the film Babylon (directed by Franco Rosso), operating his soundsystem in a soundclash at the climax of the story.

		Shaka's music is a mix of heavy dub and spiritual roots with heavy emphasis on ground shaking bass and African influenced percussion.

	Jah Shaka profile
		Jah Shaka continues playing like in Seventies: only one turntable, always the same, supposed to have been bought in the Sixties, just as the loudspeakers are the same whiche were been unloaded at "Phoebes", thousand clashes' veterans.
		Now Shaka doesn't clash or meet anybody, he is an internationa celebrity of institutional level, time independent, without the containt of the dusty "arena" where the ones try to float over the others, in the always rude sound business.
		The Russ D site, big Shaka "disciple", contain several resources about Jah Shaka: A passionate profile with several episodes and anedoctes, an interesting flyers gallery with the historical description of the events, and a long interview made by ray Hurford in the early nineties.

		Jah Shaka moves like a monument, his traits look like graved into a rock, his presence ispires respect.
		A: All artists have their special tunes with Shaka: according to the song, the inspiration, the chords and the very key of this music, there is something about warmth and tings, and there's a lot of artists that are trying to gather the people with conscious music and keep it flowing to the people.

		His commitment to Rastafarian beliefs expressed over militant steppers rhythms made Jah Shaka's sound system the only significant system in the U.K. that kept faith with the ideals from the seventies.
		From quite modest beginnings in the early 70s, by the end of the decade Shaka's sound had become one of the top three in the country, alongside such luminaries as Lloyd Coxsone and the Mighty Fatman, specializing in heavyweight, dubwise steppers material, and exclusive cuts on dub plates.
		However, whereas these and other sounds usually supported a team of selectors and DJs, Shaka performed all these functions alone, assistance in setting up the sound coming from a team of devoted youths for whom Shaka's music was almost a way of life.

	Jah Warrior Introduces - Jah Shaka
		Concentrating on the stomach churning frequencies of bass and ear piercing tops, he hammered dubs home with a vengeance and added his own extra dimensions of sonic madness with the sirens, syndrums and chants which were fed through a pair of HandH tape echos and bent into splinters of aural excess reverberating throughout the dance.
		When Shaka gave a lecture at Stamford Hill Library in the mid 80’s, the place was full of soundmen and assorted dreads, one of whom summed up the Phoebes sessions by saying, “I received my spiritual education there – Phoebes was my church and Shaka was my preacher”.
		Shaka also travelled the length and breadth of West Indian Britain, from Huddersfield to Bristol to teach the ‘country’ sounds how it was done.

		A cut was finally released on the Shaka LP ‘Brimstone and Fire,’ but with the bass deliberately mixed so low that it was impossible to hear properly.
		Cut specially for Jah Shaka and never released in any form, the African style drumming and bongos caused Shaka to chant “Hear the sound of the African drums - African Style” whenever this dub was played.
		I once heard a story about how when Shaka played this at Phoebes, all you could see was boots and feet flying towards the ceiling as the crowd engaged in previously unseen feats of stepping acrobatics.

	3am Music: BASS CULTURAL VIBRATIONS: VISIONARIES, OUTLAWS, MYSTICS AND CHANTERS
		The mighty Zulu warrior and London sound system operator Jah Shaka can still be heard chanting in his all-night dances, as he drops the needle on a crackling dub plate, "This one is inna King David Style, so give thanks and praise to the most high".
		In 1976, or 1977, the only white people you'd see in a Jah Shaka dance would be John Lydon, The Sex Pistols and their entourage, their inner circle, along with The Clash.
		Jah Shaka saw the awesome and original vibes that Disciples had, and drew them into his fold, releasing their music on his own Jah Shaka King of the Zulu Tribe record label, an honour to anyone who knows, who deeply understands the power of bass culture, and the place Shaka has within that "gnostic" world.

	Jah Shaka: Spiritual Dub Warrior
		It seemed that when the other sounds had done with their boasting and toasting, there would come a discreet hiss from the corner, and Shaka would mutter a title, or more often an invocation to Jah RasTafari, and the old-style heavy bakelite-style head of his arm would lower to the vinyl.
		Shaka playing his harp, then syn-drum; he hits it with a drumstick or plays it with his hands, the abstract texture melodies that race like liquid neon through each vein.
		Shaka moves with twelve youths who help set up the sound, transporting the mighty, hand-carved speakers with their heavyweight thunder old American RCA boxes, and amps.

		Shaka rode the vibes, and mixed styles with ease; Sizzla’s “Give Jah Praise” and Frighty’s “Call on Jah Name” early, Beres’ “Hail Rastafari,” Earl Sixteen’s “Rastaman,” and Errol Bellot and Dixie Peach’s “Rastafari is the Only Way” late.

		He takes his name from an African warrior known as the “King of the Zulus”, but to reggae lovers, Shaka is the name of the undisputed king of the sound system.
		Shaka rarely travels, but after recovering from a house fire in which he was burned while trying to save his records, he is making a special trip to Belgrade.
		He returned to the studio with Jah Shaka in 1996 and started touring again, predominantly in Europe, where new audiences are discovering the depth of feeling in his roots music.

		Jah Shaka, who played his set very early in the evening, didn't make a serious impression although he came up with a nice roots selection.
		The Jah Messenjah Band, seemingly effortless led by Dean Fraser -- who has been working with Luciano since his 1995 released album, "Where There Is Life" -- showed that they can play incredibly tight when backing their lead singer.

		Un interprète énigmatique et fortement individuel sur la scène du Soundsystem Britannique, Jah Shaka (son vrai nom demeure un mystère) a demenagé avec ses parents de la Jamaïque au Royaume-Uni à l'âge de huit ans, s'installant au sud-est de Londres.
		Shaka actionnerait son sound comme un instrument simple, la musique jouée aux niveaux à crever le tympan, l'air déchiré par ses sirènes de marque déposée et des syndrums, l'homme lui-même pris dans l'esprit, alternativement chantant, chante et danse aussi furieusement que beaucoup d'entre eux dans la foule.
		En 1980, Shaka a inauguré son label Jah Shaka King Of The Zulu Tribe“ avec la sortie "Jah Children Cry" par African Princess, qui s'est tres bien vendue au marché du reggae.

		Apart from being a hot seller on the pinstand, Shaka catalysed much of the dub experimentation that was a vital element of 80's UK new-wave.
		Summerstage booker Walter Durkacz took advantage of a rare Shaka visit to the US for the Sierra Nevada reggae fest to snag him for his first major east coast appearance, a dj slot on what turned out to be a beautiful sunny afternoon in Central Park.
		Shaka did not disappoint, playing strong tunes, flashing wild moves, and firmly chanting, all in a thoroughly positive manner, and in a classic sound system style.

		Launching his own sound system, Shaka, or "King of the Zulus," had an arrangement whereby he was able to get fresh Jamaican dub-at its essence a form of instrumental reggae-before most of the competing sound systems of the day.
		Rolling his eyes like a man possessed, he lets forth a stream of chant and song punctuated by cries over the relentless bass, and alternately vanishing and reappearing drums, horns and keyboards that weave the spell of dub.
		Shaka has also put money behind his beliefs, establishing the Jah Shaka Foundation to carry out assistance with projects in Jamaica, Ethiopia and Ghana to provide medical supplies, library books and, of course, records.
