“Marcus Garvey to Traoré: Africa Rising, Babylon Fading”

This episode of Reggae Hour Salute opens with a foundation stone:
Burning Spear – Marcus Garvey.
From there, Mr. E and Zionya step into one of the most important conversations of the entire series — Africa reclaiming itself.
We break down the recent African coups, with a focused look at Burkina Faso and the leadership of Ibrahim Traoré, examining what self-determination looks like in real time when nations reject colonial control and economic extraction. The conversation connects African liberation directly to Jamaican independence, Garveyism, and Rastafarian consciousness, showing how reggae has always been the global messenger for these movements.
This is not hype.
This is history moving forward.
The music that follows carries that same revolutionary spirit — roots, resistance, and reason — reminding us that reggae has always documented the fall of Babylon long before headlines caught up.
