 Jah is my Navigator For more than decade, Luciano has been spreading his wisdom and soothing sounds across the sphere with sweet reggae music. Since the release his landmark CD in 1995, Where There Is Life, succeeded by more than 40 full-length albums that have garnered tremendous acclaim, Jah Is My Navigator, the Luciano's most recent release on VP, is arguably the quintessential Reggae Roots and Culture album for 2008.Seasoned with Luciano's everlasting melody of spiritual salvation, repatriation, global harmony and most importantly, saving the battered souls of consciousless youth, Jah Is My Navigator embraces Luciano’s powerful baritone over traditional one drop riddims, accompanied by prophetic lyrics that are both peaceful and nourishing. Such is reggae music
“The true navigator is the almighty,” says Luciano from the title track written by Tarrus Riley…People depending on all different types of navigation, even vehicles now a days come with navigation system…Jah Is My Navigator is an essential title that is needed right now.” Spoken like an obedient courier who truly exemplifies hope for the bleak state of authentic Roots music.
Produced by the legendary Dean Fraser, Jah Is My Navigator is destined to appeal to both dedicated and casual reggae fans. Flooded with soothing glory songs and a special guest appearance by Andrew Tosh (son of late, great, Peter Tosh) on Luciano's sweet rendition of the reggae icon’s 1960’s boom tune, I’m The Tuffest, you are reminded that this effort ascends to exceptional musical heights. His opening wail on Sweet Jamaica, a heartfelt plea to save the suffering island from destruction, is so passionate as he cries, gimme back me sweet Jamaica/ too much gun de bout ya/ too much shot a fire/ lawd a too much murder. Luciano preaches the truth while setting out on a mission to run bad mind people and corrupt government officials out of power on Wise Up Youth; embraces an unconventional, very spiritual/musical approach to crooning about marijuana on beautiful ganja anthem, Hard Herbs; and tries to persuade a love interest on sensual ladies ballad, Wish You Were Mine.
As an ambassador for Jah, Luciano remains committed to the survival of Roots Reggae. “We have such a rich heritage. If we look back, we see Reggae was based on roots and messages. People like Peter Tosh, Burning Spears, Bob Marley, Dennis Brown and Third World shed sweat and tears to set the foundation we are currently basking on. God has given each one of us something that we can add to life…there is enough inspiration for the people, we just need everyone’s effort,” Humbly reaffirming that Jah is Lucianos’s only constant source of eternal navigation.
