PABLO MOSES, born in Jamaica as Pableto Henry, released his fi rst album in 1975, REVOLUTIONARY DREAM (issued in the United States by UA Records as I love I bring). A « university trained poet », according to the New York Village Voice’s Carol Cooper, « Moses articulated his Rastafarian ideology with unprecedented political frankness in a high pitched, horn-like voice over rhythms and harmonies laid down by keyboardist/ producer Geoffrey Chung ».
Signing with Mango records, Moses collaborated with chung fi ve years later, in 1980, to produce his follow up, A SONG, a subtle answer to the fi re of his debut effort . In 1981, Pablo Moses issued his third album, PAVE THE WAY. By then, Moses has amassed a huge following in Jamaica, Europe, North America and Japan.
Moses’ Rastafarian themes, the crusade against injustice, inequality, greed, racism, war, and the pillage of nature, were and are universal in their scope. Then after more than 20 years recording in the reggae music market, in 1998, Pablo released a live album, PABLO MOSES LIVE, recorded in Paris – France, while on tour. Distributed by Media 7 in France and Heart Beat in Holland, Germany, etc… In November 1998 Tabou 1 and Media 7 released PAVE THE WAY in Europe and U.S.A.
Pablo Moses remains one of the most original out –spoken roots reggae artist in Jamaica after more than 20 years, still throwing out lyrics that are sociologically, political and culturally connected. Pablo Moses has toured extensively in Canada, U.S.A, South America, Central America, Europe and Scandinavia and some Carribean Countries.
Pablo Moses is a teacher, father and a Revolutionary who never and will never deter from the path that he has taken as a voice of the poor and oppress people in the world.
