about

Satta Massagana" is indeed a classic reggae song recorded at Studio One, the legendary recording studio founded by Clement "Coxsone" Dodd. While there may be various stories and interpretations regarding its creation. "Satta Massagana" is indeed a significant song in the history of reggae music. Originally recorded by The Abyssinians in 1969 at Studio One, it's considered one of the most iconic and influential reggae tracks of all time. The song's title and lyrics are in the Amharic language, one of the official languages of Ethiopia, and the song carries a deep spiritual and cultural significance. Sid Bucknor's role as the resident engineer at Studio One during the recording of "Satta Massagana" adds to the song's historical context. His expertise and technical skill would have played a crucial role in capturing the essence and energy of the performance, contributing to the song's enduring impact. The significance of "Satta Massagana" lies in its fusion of Ethiopian musical influences with Jamaican reggae rhythms, creating a unique and transcendent sound.

The version to be released by Sid Buck Records has a special addition. It is the NayaBinghi drum that adds the rockers beat to the significant rhythm pattern in reggae music. The nyabinghi drum is indeed an essential element in the development of reggae music, particularly in the roots reggae subgenre. While the rockers rhythm typically emphasizes the bass and snare drums, the nyabinghi drum adds another layer of rhythmic complexity and cultural significance to the sound. Incorporating nyabinghi drumming into reggae music connects it to the roots of Rastafarian culture and spirituality.
