Includes a Nyahbinghi meeting. A Nyabinghi meeting has evolved from early roots into a live music
session with music, chanting, and prayer. Dr. Leonard E. Barret, a Jamaican professor of religion, wrote
in his book The Rastafarians “The term ‘Nyahbinghi’ comes to use from East Africa and refers to a
religio-political cult that resisted colonial domination from the last decades of he 19th century to about
1928. The term might have been the name or title of a Ruandaise royal princess who was killed by
colonalist because of her resisteance. After her death cults arose which were influenced by her spirit.
The members of the cult experienced spirit possession and the medium of these cults was always a
woman.
“The Nyahbinghi is the most important meeting of the Rastafarians, involving members from all over
the island. It is comparable to the movement’s convention and may last from one or three days to even a
week. [At one meeting] the air was thick with smoke from the holy herb (marijuana) and the drums kept
a haunting beat. … One tune continued as long as an hour and without a break before another was
started and continued on and on throughout the evening until the drummer was exhausted and his place
was taken by another drummer. …”
