Without Apology: Reggae Free Mumia
Date: 1/1/1999Call Number: CD 316Format: CDProducers: Without Apology MusicCollection: Compact discs and videos representing digitized copies of analog tapes
Reggae Free Mumia Without Apology' is a special compila tion CD by a vast array of Reggae music recording artists from across the globe, specifically `livicating' their works to one of the most courageous African-American political prisoners, Mumia Abu-Jamal. This prominent radio journalist and political activist, is still on death row awaiting execution -or eventual exoneration- in view of the evidence of witness tampering and prosecutorial misconduct.
The lyrics and music contained on the "Free Mumia" CD represent an outcry for justice, peace and liberation, as delivered from a number of notable Rootz Reggae singers like Ras Shiloh ("Set Him Free"), Sister Carol ("Shackles") and Big Mountain ("Right To Live"). Everything from the Ska music of John Brown's Body, the Dancehall duo of Natty Remo & Cool Breeze, the "Liberation Dub" of Jah Warrior, to the heartfelt rootz Reggae rhythms of Jack Ruby's discovery -Foundation- and the Spanish Reggae group, The Revelations, can be found on this exciting album.
These rootz artists, like their Hip Hop/Rap counterparts, have come together, contributing their works in an effort to take a stand against corrupt politics that attempt to crush and suffocate the human spirit. Ultimately, the artists are trying to stop the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal, who is currently incarcerated in Pennsylvania.
The liner notes of the CD includes the complete interview with Reggae legend Bob Marley, conducted by Mumia himself before his imprisonment. Proceeds from the sale of this CD will be donated to Mumia's legal defense fund. For more updated information about Mumia Abu-Jamal, please visit www.mumia.org and/or www.walrus.com/~resist

Several Short Cuban voice intros. The second one says- "broadcasting like Paul Revere, with a call for unity and armed self-defense." Jazz...then drums. "at the back door of Dixie, in the year of Revelation." "My Lord What a Morning" opens documentary piece on 1963 Birmingham Sunday bombing, explosion sound effects, 4 girls dead, 16-year old shot, others killed, strong Malcolm actuality--"this didn't happen in Nazi Germany, but here...it wasn't a dream it was a nightmare...the government is guilty." He's asked several questions, mentions Cuba and Vietnam. Comments on Dr. King. Africa, Asia, Latin America... applause at end. Upbeat music, then RFW commentary. "Mr. Charley rabble rouses against the people of Vietnam while brainwashing the oppressed Negro to accept non-violence. What a sham! ... Black men are forced to fight in white man's war. Greensboro, Alabama... Hitlerite... Georgia... racism without restraint yet chooses to label Black man a racist for refusing to submit to tyranny. A violent conflict of liberation..We must organize, unite... go underground..liberation is a serious undertaking. No shortcuts to freedom. In the spirit of 76..take to the streets...battle cry around the world...Freedom Freedom Freedom Now or Death!" 34:33 7/17/65 Pittsburgh Courier editorial on "Deacons of Justice" read by Mabel Williams. Government has miserably failed to protect the right to life. "The real surprise is that the Deacons were not formed long ago." Closing announcement. "Muy buenos noches and keep fighting for freedom."

Opening announcement. Radio Free Dixie presents Malcolm's voice as a voice of prophecy. Music includes Swanee River /Old Folks at Home (Ray Charles). Malcolm discusses the contribution of the Black Muslim movement as militancy…dared to get loud in our 400 years. Got more militant than they intended. Role of Negro leaders to cool things down. Muslim and Black nationalist groups face acceptability to civil rights groups. Discusses the MauMau/African independence. Takes madness not sadness to change things. You need more than a Mau Mau in the US. Goodman, Schwerner, Cheney..we need a MauMau. Other atrocities...we needa MauMau and I'll be the first to join it." Then back to discussion of Islam. Organization of Afro-American Unity. Need to overcome divide and conquer tactics. Talk on 1965 and the Prospects for Freedom. Africa advances; Tanzania. Vietnam. It's criminal. Wrong is wrong. Mentions Wayne Morse, etc..if I'm anti-American, so are they. China exploded the bomb--a scientific breathrough, I for one was happy to hear that they had overcome so much backwardness. Poor people can do it as well as rich people. March on Washington/Civil Rights Bill---try to lessen power of the explosion/but not do anything about the material that is explosive. They'll try a Black cabinet member...nice joke about being "investigated." More on Chaney, Goodman, Schwerner. "We intend to go PREPARED...when registering to vote. Talks about the rebellions--in 1965 even more blood will flow...downtown as well as uptown..why? Have the causes been removed?
