Capleton & The Prophecy Band - 2017 North American Tour - Interview
|
The following is an interview with Capleton from United Reggae by Angus Taylor on April 7, 2016.
Capleton’s famously fearsome presence on stage couldn't be more distant when he arrives at Jimmy Cliff’s studio in Kingston for our interview. He has driven here on his own, without entourage. He greets us in the manner of the Bobo Ashanti mansion of Rastafari. “Greetings in the name of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I the First, Holy Emmanuel I Selassie I, Jah Rastafari.” He is dressed in one of his striking yellow stage outfits with red gold and green banding and matching shoes. He is genial and smiling throughout.
