IMPERIAL SOUND ARMY

Imperial Sound Army is the Name given unto the inspiration InI received from His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I. It was born from a will to spread His teachings among peoples of every nation, chanting in His Hola Name. By this, InI proclaim that HE Iternally reigneth, covered with Glory, sitting on the Throne of Judgment in Mount Zion. InI chant and praise to share a deep meditative experience through the powers of music and by virtue of its mystical energy. InI chant to mash down and finally overwhelm rumours and prejudices concerning RastafarI music's true roots and aims. InI chant to reunite all brethrens and sistrens under the protective flag of the Lion, and to ultimately eradicate those racial prejudices still used as a pretext to disseminate ignorance among the peoples of the earth. InI desire is to hand down what InI Fathers have taught us, as well as to transmit what Holy Scriptures revealed unto InI allowing unto InI hearts to take rest and rejoice. Through the musical language, InI aim to manifest the love, the goodness and the greatness of His works, even knowing that this is actually difficult to explain and which InI words may perhaps be not able to fully express. Music possesses the power to penetrate within your whole being even when your ears could not be willing to heed and care about. Musical vibration hits your body to the point to enter your heart straightly, communicating through the Spirit and reviving your meditation. Taking a time to meditate gives man an occasion to escape the frenetic condition he is nowadays forced to live within. InI persuasion is that the power of music is not confined to offer moments of emotional well-being. Even more, it is able to awake people and to stimulate their intellectual faculties. The sound of RastafarI reconciliates one..s soul. Imperial Sound chants the music of the KING of Kings to the benefit of the old and new generations. InI aim is not to set the teachings of a new religion or sect, rather InI will is simply to ..share what life has taught us with those who are willing to hear it.. (quote from His Majesty..s word to the United Nations, Oct. 6, 1963).
