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! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEZvnrR3OK4 ''All my brothers let's get closer to Jah Jah Only him alone can guide you thru yeaah all my sisters let's hold on to Jah Jah cuz only him alone can guide thru''

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

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