Re: Bible references in reggae and gospel music

[glenn tamir <klezska...>]

I thought you might appreciate this.... I have attached a document that is the 
treatment for a film entitled "Awake Zion."  It is currently in production by 
New York Filmaker Monic Haim.  The film chronicles several bands/musicians who 
combine Jewish themes and music with Jamaican music like Ska, Rock Steady & 
Reggae. The film should be released in a few months time and I will let 
everyone know when it will  preview in the NY Area. Enjoy.....

off-topic, of course, but since the article Helen referred to lists "The Rivers 
Of Babylon" as a popular song with lyrics that can be tracked back to the 
Bible, I just felt I had to send this link which details the relations between 
the Old Testament and (Rastafarian) reggae lyrics: 
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/davebulow/wow/index.htm Another fascinating 
subject is the relation between the Bible and African-American gospel lyrics, 
especially lyrics which refer to the trials and tribulations of "the 
Israelites". All the best, Eva  Let us now turn to the dances that are the 
special focus of the observations in this article, namely those whose song 
lyrics can be traced back to the Bible.
