His hit song International Farmer was also relicked a few years ago by French label FuryBass to wide acclaim.

Peter Broggs is, for me, an icon of the roots age of reggae music. His works at ras records are among the finest I´ve ever heard. It´s impossible to not feel in the mood after listening to songs such as "jah voice is calling" and "international farmer". Rest in peace, true rastaman and concious singer. |
