Akae Beka

Akae Beka - Portals - I Grade - 2016 After many many years of being part of Midnite - Vaughn Benjamin one of the greatest singer/songwriters that reggae

music as ever produced decides to go solo. In other forms of music - such a change could herald dramatic changes in direction. However reggae music is not just another form of music. It's got it's own traditions.

Having inspired a whole generation of reggae fans for so many years - Vaughn had no intention of turning his back on them. So this work - his second solo album is a continuation of the great works of Midnite. The songs are a true meditation and so are the rhythms. These are rhythms built around the songs - not songs built around the rhythm. For some this seems to be a problem. Yet for those who enjoy great singing and songwriting - its a true pleasure. For reggae music as always had a message - it's not just music.
