Reggae Roots 1977 [Unreleased Album] Empress Selah – Lioness Arise

🎙️ Empress Selah – Lioness Arise [Unreleased 1977 Roots Reggae Album] Roots Reggae | Dub | Nyabinghi | Rastafari | Lost Tapes Lioness Arise is a powerful and uplifting roots reggae statement from the golden era of the late 1970s — a long-lost 1977 recording by Empress Selah, a conscious roots singer whose commanding voice celebrates the strength, dignity, and spiritual authority of the lioness within Rastafari culture. Built upon heavyweight one-drop riddims, deep rolling basslines, and sacred Nyabinghi drum patterns, the album moves with graceful determination. Every groove feels like the first light of dawn spreading across the hills of Zion, calling a new generation to stand with courage, wisdom, and unwavering faith in Jah. Empress Selah delivers her chants with remarkable power and heartfelt sincerity. Her rich, soulful voice speaks of resilience, righteousness, unity, and spiritual awakening, encouraging women and men alike to walk boldly in truth without fear. Every lyric carries the wisdom of generations, reminding listeners that true strength is found in humility, compassion, and steadfast devotion to the Most High. The production is wrapped in authentic analog warmth — thunderous bass foundations, crisp rhythm guitar skanks, warm Hammond organ melodies, hand-played percussion, and expansive dub effects that create a rich and immersive soundscape. Spring reverbs shimmer like the morning sun upon the mountains, while vintage tape echoes drift through the mix like voices carried across Zion by the wind. Throughout the album, the lioness symbolizes courage, leadership, nurturing strength, and unwavering faith. The songs celebrate perseverance through hardship, the importance of community, and the divine calling to rise above oppression with grace rather than hatred. Every rhythm carries a message of hope, empowerment, and spiritual renewal. The dub passages unfold with majestic beauty — basslines rolling beneath distant Nyabinghi drums, shimmering delays echoing across lush valleys, and spacious reverbs creating the feeling of standing upon a mountaintop as dawn breaks over the land. Every instrumental journey invites meditation while preserving the unmistakable pulse of classic Jamaican roots reggae. Each track feels like watching the sunrise over Zion as a lioness stands proudly upon the hillside, Nyabinghi drums echo through the valleys below, and voices unite in songs of praise celebrating courage, faith, and the everlasting promise of Jah. Though hidden away for decades, Lioness Arise remains a timeless treasure from reggae's golden age — a majestic fusion of conscious roots reggae, immersive analog dub, and enduring Rastafari spirituality that continues to inspire strength and hope across generations. 👉 Subscribe for more unreleased reggae albums, lost dub tapes, and hidden classics from the golden age of roots reggae. #rootsreggae #dubreggae #reggaemusic #nyabinghi #rastafari #rootsandculture #classicreggae #reggaevibes #losttapes #jamaicanmusic #reggaelovers #realreggae #unreleasedreggae #dubmusic roots reggae 1977, dub reggae, conscious reggae, spiritual reggae, Rastafari music, analog dub, Nyabinghi drums, lioness reggae, female roots reggae, vintage reggae records, lost reggae tapes, reggae archive, Lioness Arise, Empress Selah, roots and culture reggae, deep roots dub, classic Jamaican reggae, golden age reggae
