The Liberation of Zion Sings Songs of Italy The Liberation of Zion
The Liberation of Zion trades Zion for the Zion of another people's imagination, turning their roots reggae sound toward the boot of Europe itself. Ten tracks of skanking rhythm, Hammond organ, and psychedelic guitar carry the story of a fractured peninsula becoming one nation, sung with the same fire the band brings to their own liberation anthems. Garibaldi rides again. Verdi gets his prophet's due. Sicily's ancient trinacria becomes a Rasta walking song, and the tricolore flies alongside red, gold and green without ever pretending they're the same flag. Every history is real, every pun is earned, and every chorus is built to be sung, not just heard.
Patriotic, playful, and packed with more Italian history than a textbook (but a lot more fun), this is reggae as nation building, one witty verse at a time.
