Greetings to all!

I'm new in this whole thing. I have a question and I hope you can help me. What's the meaning of these words:

''Yes I''
''One Love''
''Blessed Love''
''Selecta''


Thanks in advance!

I personally would not consider these "Rasta Words", but nonetheless,

Yes I - Yes bretheren/sistren; I agree
One Love - All for one and one for all
Blessed Love - Blessings
Selecta - In American/European terminology, a disk-jockey or DJ (is usually used either way e.g. Statik Selekta or Selecta Atof)

Thanks a lot for answering so fast!

I also heard ''Yes I'' means positive vibrations but I'm not
quite sure, is this true?

Selecta means DJ, but how is it used?
Example: Selecta X or X Selecta? Is the name first or after the word selecta?

Thanks I appreciate your help.

What does talawa mean?

When I first came here I didn't get a word! But now I am starting to understand the lingo...

All the best,

Joe

Which lingo? You turn Jamaican Maafa? Better one Ivers the history and purpose of authenticity of the lingo.
