The Liberation of Zion Sings Canada: Nationalist Songs For a Free North Country The Liberation of Zion
From the Atlantic to the Pacific to the Arctic, from the Peaceable Kingdom to the promised land, The Liberation of Zion turns their roots reggae vision north. This is Canada reimagined through Nyabinghi drums and Hammond organ skank, where "Dominion" becomes scripture, the maple leaf stands beside the herb leaf, and the true patriot love runs as deep as true democracy runs hard. Eleven tracks move from militant chant to sacred grounation to a closing dub that lets the whole record echo into silence.
Sung with wit, reverence, and a fire for freedom, this is history you can skank to: the Persons Case and the Famous Five, Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope, the Underground Railroad's North Star, Confederation itself, all folded into vocabulary borrowed from Zion. Funny where it should be funny, and dead serious where it counts, this is a nation sung the way only The Liberation of Zion could sing it: red, white, and green, from sea to sea to sea.
Jah guide our land. True North strong and free.
