The Homeland kicks off a busy year for Morgan Heritage, who will also appear at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and tour the globe later this year.
To accompany the album announcement, Morgan Heritage has shared the lead single “Who Deh Like U” feat Bounty Killer, Cham & Stonebwoy, which debuted at #1 on the US iTunes Afro-Beat chart.
“It’s hard to find anyone to compare to you. Even from a million miles away your value will never diminish because you are so unique…” says Mojo Morgan about the meaning of the track.
The award-winning reggae group Morgan Heritage – is currently composed of the Trinity: Peetah Morgan, Gramps Morgan, and Mr. Mojo Morgan, all the children of late reggae great and Father of A Nation, the Hon. Ras Denroy Morgan.
“The new @morganheritage album The Homeland drops April 21st. This is the group’s First World music album and they combine the sounds of Africa with the sounds of Jamaica on this Afro-Fusion album that features legends and future legends from both places,” the three artists noted.
The album’s description as “world music” means it could be a contender in the GRAMMY’s Global Music category for next year.
The term World Music was initially used in the UK in 1987 to help differentiate music from non-western artists.
