News of the death of Culture, lead vocalist of Reggae Group Culture, travelled really fast and was a big shock to the world music industry. He died in Berlin, Germany from liver failure according to reports from his daughter.
Back here in Ghana a few artistes have paid tribute to Culture, a man who is described as a well rounded, well known and well loved individual for preaching peace through his albums.
Bandana?s Tribute:
?I heard the sad news on Saturday and have put song together in commemoration him titled ?The Prophet?. His songs have always motivated me and brought me closer to the Almighty. I believe am the next prophet after him. Musicians like Culture have made us know our ?left from right? and always preached the truth?.
Batman?s Tribute:
?I heard his death in the afternoon that put me down. He has been very influential to the reggae and world music industry. I was privileged to have performed and vibe with him at the ?Africa Unite? concert in Ghana. But the main thing we are all hoping for is a PEACEFUL REST!?.
Abortion of 4x4 Tribute:
?We are all sad about the news. I truly believe he is the prophet of reggae music. From Abortion of 4x4, we send our condolences to the family of Joseph Hill?.
Culture started his career in 1972 as a percussionist with the Soul Defenders from Linstead, St. Catherine. His first recording was a track called ?Picture on the Wall? with Freddie McKoy.
From there success has always fallen on him and could be best remembered for songs like ?Stop The Fussing And Fighting?, ?Love Shines Bright?, ?Natty Never Get Weary?, ?Trod On?, ?International Herb? and others songs. He was a headliner at the ?One Love? peace concert in 1978.
Having toured Africa, Israel, Japan, United Kingdom and other Scandinavian countries extensively, he came out with a World Peace album in 2003 seeking peace worldwide and rejecting war.
