After being away for several years Inna de Yard is back with a new album and a new label. This beautiful project was in the beginning more than ten years ago spearheaded by Jamaican guitar ace Earl “Chinna” Smith and rendered many excellent tunes, including the late Matthew McAnuff’s dread Be Careful.
The new album features a crème de la crème of Jamaican veteran vocalists, and a few spirited newer ones also checks in.
The Soul of Jamaica is just like the previous Inna de Yard sets acoustic with nyabinghi drumming and transcendental rhythms. Key cuts include Var’s powerful Crime, Bo-Pee’s beautiful Thanks & Praises and Ken Boothe’s versions of his own Let the Water Run Dry and Artibella. Ken Boothe sounds just as great as he did back in the 60s and 70s. It’s quite remarkable.
Conscious music that encapsulates the soul of Jamaica.
