"one of the earliest titles to make direct reference to Africa as a blackman's spiritual home. As early as 1953 trombonist Rico Rodriguez had gone to live in the rasta community of Count Ossie, based then at Lennock Lodge in the Wareika Hills, and by the time of "Soul of Africa" he was a committed Rastafarian."
