London, England - Alpha Blondy - Radical Roots From The Emperor Of African Reggae (MANTCD050)is a new Alpha Blondy compilation released by British label Manteca. Kwaku produced the mid-priced album.

"Alpha has released thirteen albums," says Kwaku. "Listening through 'Jah Glory' (this 1982 album is internationally available as 'Rasta Poue' and you can hear the skanking title track on this compilation) to his last studio album, 'Merci' (2002), the most prevalent themes are social, political and religious. Hence the tracks here have been chosen to reflect these areas."
