ETHIOPIA: THE SHASHAMENE RASTAS

Director(s): Frederic TONOLLI – Writer(s): Frédéric TONOLLI   Contact Contact   Download Print page

The small village of Shashamene is home to a handful of Rastafarians. They left their Jamaican homeland on the return journey which Marcus Garvey promised to the "children of slavery" and settled on land given to them by Emperor Haile Selassie, the King of Kings, the Father of the Rastafari. Papa Ba, an old Jamaican, arrived in Ethiopia twenty years ago. He sets to music the story of this dream of a return to African soil and offers a better understanding of what reggae is.
