Here’s an interesting story, about the son of Jamaican superstar Bob Marley and his collaboration on a reggae song with…..Hasidic rapper named DeScribe. I’m not a fan of rap or reggae, although the video below is catchy. But I found this to be an interesting story about how people with different spiritual and cultural beliefs can still get along, provided they don’t embrace murderous ideologies. The point is not that people are different, but that they respect differences rather than want to kill people who are not like them. ( Radical Islamists, anyone?) An excerpt:
“We discussed Judaism and Rastafarianism, and connected on a spiritual level,” DeScribe recalls.
“There is a connection between Rastafarians and Jews. They grow their dreadlocks for the same reason we grow side locks, because the Torah says that side locks must be kept,” he said as he explained the essence of the connection.
“In fact, most of their religion is based on the Torah and there are many among the Rastafarians who believe in the Old Testament and even wear the Star of David.
“They don’t believe in constructing borders between people, they believe all people are equal and they believe in nature, spirituality, peace, love and harmony. And that is what my music is based on when you open your eyes; you see there are people who listen, people you can talk to.”
Here’s a video DeScribe did for Marley Coffee.
