Tapper Zukie’s ‘Man from Bosrah’ album still stands up today many years after its initial release, as only great music seems to do.
Punk poet Patti Smith had practised her poetry over the rhythms from Tapper Zukies ‘Man Ah Warrior’ album, before reworking them as songs with her band.
Acknowledging this influence she brought Tapper on stage with her at the Hammersmith Odeon 23 October 1976 and introduced Tapper to a whole new audience. An audience that accepted Reggae as a music that also dealt with struggle and oppression.
The great cover shot shows Tapper standing at the back gates of the school yard in Trench town which was opposite his own yard...so sit back and hear what was happening back then that made this such a time defining album.....
