    Shaka was one of our great modern prophets. He changed my life gradually over my formative years. He instilled many of the lessons he speaks of simply through his music and short time toasting between songs. He taught me music is the closest thing we have to magic and that god is simply the love we carry for ourselves and a stranger. Love and compassion even in the face of anger and oppression is more powerful than any fire.

    First listened to Shaka around 1983, would listen to him on Saturday night and my ears would still be ringing lunchtime on Sunday. One man operation with the turntable on a big thick piece of sponge above his head with 4 x 18" speakers in each box.Those were the days :)

    Jah Shaka was a massive inspiration to my life growing up in Southall which use to be heart of sound systems in the 90’s. Shaka took me to a place of mediation so deep which use to let me connect to the vocal and dub.
    So thank you Jah Shaka for the musical inspiration that you had to my life l.
    Good times and bad but you still the man and No:1 sound-system in the world! The true Dread at the controls!!
    What I love is we sometimes come to a Shaka dance after years but we still feel the love. Bless 🙏🏽👌👊🏽

    One of best moments of my musical journey was a Jah Shaka tent! Just this guy with his massive sound system, a turntable and a mic. He played the record - one after the other (gaps of silence in-between tunes). It was around the time DMC scratch DJ'ing and House / DnB blending was so political, this man just chilled, played the best Dub records and danced! It simply blew my mind! as a White English person growing up in the frantic Rave era, this was so amazing to me!
    It's mad cuz I was really in tune to Jah Shaka's music a week or so ago with no knowledge of him passing (literally just found out)
    Rest in Peace Mr Shaka ♥✌✊🏾

      @@jahmusicmansionwhererealre3920 Unfortunately, a lot of meaning was lost between generations and time, in this interview. Shaka has a poor memory of the passage of time, and years. I have noticed this in various articles where he's been interviewed before. Also, he wanted to show the subversive side of what he was doing, to his audience here, but he failed because humour has changed. For example, the stuff about bass healing the digestive system, etc. This humour is from the time when there was a mainstream culture and a counterculture. Now, as there's no mainstream or counter, just a monoculture, there is no frame of reference for younger people to understand what he was trying to say. It wasn't a good interview.

As for the dub thing Jah Shaka was a master at that part of Jamaican music in the UK but the real credit for playing dub music was a Jamaican man called Osbourne Rudduck A.k.A. king tubby in the 70s Sound systems in the UK were falling over themselves to have king tubby dubplates from Jamaica, especially at sound clashes back then. Jah Shaka kept it real to himself & his Audience even though that style of music is not really used in Jamaica today, especially with the top sounds. Jah Shaka was unique he was as they used to say one in the island he will be missed
