Description

Winston McAnuff was born in the hills of Jamaica in 1957, where reggae was ingrained in his life from an early age. Onstage, this pastor's son--nicknamed "Electric Dread"--steps beyond his role as Rastafarian preacher, performing with a fiery spirit that is as distinctive as it is jovial. But where does his boundless energy come from after so many years of silence?

In contrast to his stage charisma, on this DVD we share moments in an intimate setting. Against a neutral backdrop of a stage under construction, with guitar in hand, he recounts stories about Rasta culture. His words and prayers evoke poetry from far-off Jamaica, the land of his first musical inspiration and his first life-changing encounters. Even though this great island is far away, the ghosts of elders are ever-present. Electric Dread philosophizes...

Review

"McAnuff has only brought out five albums in a 30-year career, but he is appreciated as one of Jamaica's most audacious artists. He has not hesitated to use his singular voice and compositional skills to cross over from reggae into rock, funk, soul, and even Motown." --Mondomix
