‘general’

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.It’s been some time since the music public heard any new material from Iba Mahr. The roots singer makes a comeback with ‘General’, a song produced by Notis Recordz.

The track salutes ‘generals’ of black culture such as Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, Marcus Garvey and Mortimo Planno. Iba Mahr uses a popular term for respect among Jamaicans to hail his heroes.

“To be a general is an honorable title, this song speaks to the dignity and honor of what a general is. We, Jamaican musicians, are on the continued path of embracing the foundation of our culture and musical heritage. General offers an understanding of the names of leaders and Rastafarians we recognize as some of the most influential figures throughout history,” he explained.

Iba Mahr is known for songs like ‘Diamond Sox’ and ‘Great is H.I.M.’ From rural St. Catherine parish, he emerged on the music scene 10 years ago and has released one album and two EPs to date.
