Calling All Rastaman......

We are pleased to be able to bring you this wonderful new film from Ethiopian film maker Tikher Teferra Kidane.
This is a really special film, and is all about a Rastaman by the name of 'Ras Kawintseb Kidane Meheret Selassie' who has been living in Shashemane, Ethiopia for the past 12yrs.

The film tells the story of Ras Kawintseb's journey to Shashemane over 12yrs ago. Originating from Trinidad he embarked on a special journey to Ethiopia, to the place he had always dreamed about since his childhood. Since arriving he took off his shoes and has been walking barefoot ever since. He now lives a happy life in Shashemane as a farmer and music teacher and has formed his own band "The IYTEYOFRIKA Band", in the film we get to see some very special live performances from the band. They play in a small straw roofed hut located in Shashemane. 

The band performs some very conscious reggae songs and we even get some Dub versions in there. Ras Kawintseb talks between songs and explains the meaning of some of his songs and tells us a bit about his life and his beliefs.

The film will be of special importance to some Rasta's as it is revealed in the film that His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie was sighted be several Ethiopians one day, as if a message from the Emperor himself, it was said that His Majesty was riding with Lions in a ball of fire on the mountainside.  This sighting will have great meaning to Rastafarians all over the world and Ras Kawintseb wrote a song about what happened that day, which you can see in the film.



The film is special because it gives us an insight into the life of a Rasta who came  from the Caribbean and made the journey to Shashemane to live on the land that  Emperor Haile Selassie gave to all those Africans who where enslaved in the days   of slavery. This is something which has never adequately been captured on film     previously and it is a real inspiration to other Rasta's out there wanting to know  more.

This is a film that every Rastaman needs to see..........
