Jimmy Cliff - Refugees CD
SKU: 0602448572691
Description:
With a career stretching back over 50 years, Jamaican musician
Jimmy Cliff is often known as the “Grandfather of Reggae”. Now
the 78-year-old is using his first album in over a decade to shine
a light on people forced to flee. It continues Cliff’s long
tradition of penning thought-provoking anthems.
“The lyrics are self-explanatory and inspired by what you see going
on in the world with refugees,” he says. Cliff, best known for
songs such as “Many Rivers to Cross” and “The Harder They Come”,
helped popularize reggae music around the world. He is the only
living musician to hold the Jamaican Order of Merit, the country’s
highest honour for arts and science. Writing on his
Instagram account, he describes “Refugees” as “not just a song, but
a movement.” “As a humanitarian, I wrote the song due to
emotional feelings towards freedom taken away from human beings.
None of us should be forced by violence, economics, war, or
persecution to leave our country against our will”.
