The most sacred day in the Rastafarian calendar; on 21st April 1966 Emperor Haile Selassie visited Jamaica, to be greeted by over 100,000 Rastafarians (the authorities had no idea there were so many on the island), reducing the arrival at the airport and his drive into Kingston to utter chaos.
This is Peter Tosh's take on the events at the time. The tune and lyrics are based on an old mento tune called "Archie Buck them Up"
