Any Which Way...Freedom

Any Which Way...Freedom

On this hard-hitting album, you'll hear Mutabaruka's trademark scorching political lyrics—but his musical and lyrical reach goes beyond partisan invective. "Revenge" sets a chilling tale of police brutality to an unlikely calypso backing. The anti-coke and pro-labor sentiments of "Drug Kulcha (5 Years After)" and "H2 Worka (For the Farm Workers of Jamaica)" are pumped up by harder-edged, guitar-driven rhythms. And the most pointed track, "Letter from a Friend," on which he takes an oppressor's voice, needs no musical backing at all.
