TIME FOR REGGAE FESTIVAL TRIVIA 101...
DO YOU KNOW OR DID YOU KNOW?
The group The Abyssinians was in the movie "Rockers". They appear in the opening scene, performing their hit song "Satta Massagana".
The film "Rockers" is a 1978 Jamaican movie about the reggae music scene, and The Abyssinians, known for their Rastafarian themes and soulful harmonies, were featured as themselves. Their performance of "Satta Massagana" with Ras Michael & the Sons of Negus is a memorable part of the film's opening.
In addition to The Abyssinians, the movie also features other prominent reggae artists of the time, including Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, Big Youth, and Kiddus I. The film is considered a classic of the reggae genre and a snapshot of Jamaican culture in the 1970s.
