".
. . Glowing from the epiphany of pursuing a purposeful life, One
Afrika Record co-founders Ras Abel and Tensae Berhanu are
adamant that the music of Meleket follow the standards set by
the best of 'Roots and Culture' Reggae music while ensuring
their mission which is expressed through the music. Their debut
CD, aptly titled "HUMBLE BEGINNINGS" is not of humble
quality. All tracks reveal that these young lions are under the
influence of the masters of premium quality reggae. The lyrics
are not shy about singing praises to His Imperial Majesty Haile
Selassie I, Pan African Development and progressive livity for
mankind."

".
. . There are so many good things to say about this CD. Let me
begin by saying you will have to listen to it more than once.
And when you do, take time to read the lyrics along with the
songs. Ras Abel's voice is rich, with full range. The music on
this CD ranges from Nyahbinghi rhythms, to ska, to Hard Roots,
to some Ethiopian traditional music styling. Hard, real upbeat
music and messages from a young lion making a 'Humble
Beginning'. Respect!."
