The Abyssinians – Satta Massagana (1976, Jamaica)
Our next spotlight is on number 442 on The List, submitted by weirdofhermiston.
The Abyssinians were a vocal trio of Bernard Collins and brothers Donald and Lynford Manning. The title track of this, their debut album,[1] was originally recorded in 1969 for Jamaica’s renowned label Studio One but, after the producer/label owner (Clement “Coxsone” Dodd) held it back, the trio bought the master tapes and self-released it. The song – which has some lyrics in the Ethiopian Amharic language – became a hymn sung in Rastafarian services, and the album as a whole is considered a classic in the roots reggae genre.
Accompanying the trio on this album are a few familiar names and overall cornerstones of Jamaica’s reggae scene, including:
- the prolific and late Robbie Shakespeare on bass and Sly Dunbar on drums, who are in at least a couple other albums on The List including Sinéad O’Connor’s Throw Down Your Arms (which has a cover of this album’s “Y Mas Gan”) and to-be-spotlit Grace Jones’ Nightclubbing;
- Tyrone Downie on keyboards, who the year previous appeared on Burning Spear’s Marcus Garvey and then also in 1976 would make his recording debut as part of Bob Marley & The Wailers on Rastaman Vibration (we’ll hear from Downie again when we get to our spotlights on the live Babylon By Bus, as well as Grace Jones’ Nightclubbing;
- Earl “Chinna” Smith on guitars, who was also on Marcus Garvey and Rastaman Vibration, as well as on the to-be-spotlit Lee Perry’s The Upsetters Super Ape and Augustus Pablo’s King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown;
- plus Mikey “Boo” Richards and Leroy “Horsemouth” Wallace (drums), Val Douglas (bass), Mikey Chung (guitars), Geoffrey Chung (keyboards), Jerome Francique and Llewellyn Chang (horns), and Clive Hunt (keyboards, horns, flute) (some or all of whom probably are also hiding elsewhere on The List, for all I know).
If you’re into dub versions as I am, make sure you also check out Satta Dub (1998) and its Deluxe Expanded Edition (2017).
- Originally unofficially released in limited quantities in 1975, 1976 is considered the official release date. The album has also been released under the titles Forward On To Zion and Satta. ↩︎

The #Rastafari faith is rooted in 1930s Jamaica, growing as a response by Black people to white colonial oppression. Its beliefs are a melding of Old Testament teachings and a desire to return to Africa. Its message was spread across the world in the 1970s by Jamaican music icons Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, two of the faith’s most famous exponents.

Landor sued after his release, but lower courts dismissed the case. The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals lamented Landor’s treatment but said the law doesn’t allow him to hold prison officials liable for damages.
#Louisiana wrote that “the state has amended its prison grooming policy to ensure that nothing like petitioner’s alleged experience can occur.”

At his first 2 stops, ofcls respected his beliefs. But things changed when he got to the Raymond Laborde Correctional Center in Cottonport, ~80 mi (130 km) NW of Baton Rouge, for the final 3 weeks of his term.
A prison guard took the copy of the ruling Landor carried & tossed it in the trash, acc/to court records. Then the warden ordered guards to cut his dreadlocks. While 2 guards restrained him, a third shaved his head to the scalp, records show.

The justices refused to apply the rationale from their decision in 2020 that allowed #Muslim men to sue over their inclusion on the FBI’s no-fly list under a sister statute, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act [ #RFRA ].
The #DOJ, which argued against the plaintiffs in the no-fly list case in #Trump’s first Republican admin, had sided with Landor.

The justices condemned what happened to the former inmate, Damon Landor. But they ruled that a federal #law designed to protect the #ReligiousRights of inmates does not permit lawsuits for #MoneyDamages even when rights are violated.
#SCOTUS agreed with lower courts that without exception had ruled that the law, the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act [ #RLUIPA ], can’t be used to hold those who violate inmates’ rights financially responsible.
