- The Abyssinians are a Jamaican roots reggae group, famous for their close harmonies and promotion of the Rastafari movement in their lyrics. The vocal trio was originally formed in 1968 by Bernard Collins and Donald Manning. Their first song was "Satta Massagana", which was strongly influenced by Carlton Manning's "Happy Land". "Satta Massagana" is a Rastafarian hymn sung partly in the Ethiopian Amharic language. https://www.abyssiniansmusic.com

- Craig Harris, AllMusic Guide - With their trademark meld of sweet, multi-part vocal harmonies, soulful melodies, and innovative roots rhythms, Morgan Heritage have been at the forefront of reggae music since 1994. Initially a recording octet, then a quintet, and then a trio, the group is composed of some of reggae vocalist Denroy Morgan's 29 children. They have been referred to as the "first family of reggae" -- the Marleys notwithstanding. Over three decades, Morgan Heritage have carved a uniquely individual, widely accessible sound that blends elements of roots reggae, lovers rock, soul, R&B, calypso, gospel, dub, and on occasion, funk and dancehall.[more] - https://www.allmusic.com/artist/morgan-heritage-mn0000500298 Morgan Heritage is a Grammy-winning Jamaican reggae band formed in 1994 by five children of reggae artist Denroy Morgan, namely Peter "Peetah" Morgan, Una Morgan, Roy "Gramps" Morgan, Nakhamyah "Lukes" Morgan, and Memmalatel "Mr. Mojo" Morgan.
