Who said the revolutionary message of reggae is dead? In his home nation of Niger, Salim Jah Peter's 'Hold Up De Pouvoir' is seen as a danger to the state! The album was banned, three of Salim Jah Peter's employees were arrested and the singer himself is persona-non-grata. Salim Jah Peter is certainly not the greatest African vocalist, but the tight production and the sweet-voiced backing vocals amply make up for his shortcomings. The only shame is that Salim Jah Peter belongs to that group of African vocalists who opt to sing in broken English while they are clearly better at ease in French.
