2000 release.
Ismaël Isaac
was a 15-year-old growing up in a densely-populated lower-working-class district of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, when
Bob Marley
died in 1981, and it was a defining moment for him; that was when, he recalls, "reggae became, de facto, a genre of African music." It was also when an older neighbor who called himself
Alpha Blondy
started singing reggae songs in local languages. And that's when Isaac made up his mind to be a reggae singer himself. With little more than faith in his talent, he managed to get himself on Ivorian radio and television and soon on records.
Black System
is his seventh album and his strongest. Listening to this, one might be convinced that reggae has been African music forever.
