Alpha Blondy
Jah Victory
Released in 2007, *Jah Victory* is a major album by Alpha Blondy that marks a return to the roots of reggae, while affirming his spiritual and political commitment. Recorded across Abidjan, Paris, and Kingstonmost notably at Bob Marley's famous Tuff Gong studiosthe project brings together the virtuosity of Jamaican musicians (including the legendary rhythm section Sly & Robbie) and the brass-infused energy of the Wailers. Musically, *Jah Victory* offers a rich, horn-laden sound that oscillates between traditional roots reggae, African influences, and subtle rock arrangements. It is a record that is both militant and unifyingtailored for the stage and propelled by the unshakable aura of the "Jagger of reggae."
