FREEDOM
CRY - the BNX |
TIMELESS
SONGS - Nyofu Turkish minstrels and mystics from 13th century to present performed mostly in English with traditional melodies. |
| "A
product of LA's multicultural influences, Mark Tyson mixes Reggae and World
Music up on his new release Freedom Cry (3 Worlds Music). He blends them
well on tracks like "Fidayda" and the title song. Then Tyson punches
in some nice straight-up Reggae on "A New Day" and going for the
knockout comes in with one of the best dread tunes around in "Thank
You Jah"-
