Buju Banton
Buju Banton is a Jamaican dancehall, ragga, and reggae musician. He has recorded Pop and Dance songs, as well as songs dealing with political topics. Banton, is politically outspoken and influenced by Marcus Garvey. "Banton" is a Jamaican word referring to someone who is a respected storyteller, and it was adopted by Myrie in tribute to the deejay Burro Banton whom Buju admired as a child. It was Burro's rough gravelly vocals that Buju emulated and ultimately made his own. 2006 saw the release of the critically acclaimed "Too Bad," his first dancehall orientated album in over a decade. Voicing riddims produced by many of Jamaica's top producers Buju showed he still had what it took to be at the top of the dancehall game. One of the slower tracks from the album, "Driver A," was a massive hit and revived Sly & Robbie's ever-popular "Taxi" riddim.
