Groundation Day: Rastafari Hola day. Visit of H.I.M. to Jamaica. Emperor Haile Selasssie I of<br />

Ethiopia visited Jamaica on April 21, 1966, his only visit to the island nation.<br />

Includes a Nyahbinghi meeting. A Nyabinghi meeting has evolved from early roots into a live music<br />

session with music, chanting, and prayer. Dr. Leonard E. Barret, a Jamaican professor of religion, wrote<br />

in his book The Rastafarians “The term ‘Nyahbinghi’ comes to use from East Africa and refers to a<br />

religio-political cult that resisted colonial domination from the last decades of he 19th century to about<br />

1928. The term might have been the name or title of a Ruandaise royal princess who was killed by<br />

colonalist because of her resisteance. After her death cults arose which were influenced by her spirit.<br />

The members of the cult experienced spirit possession and the medium of these cults was always a<br />

woman.<br />

“The Nyahbinghi is the most important meeting of the Rastafarians, involving members from all over<br />

the island. It is comparable to the movement’s convention and may last from one or three days to even a<br />

week. [At one meeting] the air was thick with smoke from the holy herb (marijuana) and the drums kept<br />

a haunting beat. … One tune continued as long as an hour and without a break before another was<br />

started and continued on and on throughout the evening until the drummer was exhausted and his place<br />

was taken by another drummer. …”<br />
