Lee Perry:
“Baby Krishna” (2004)
Reggae genius
Lee “Scratch” Perry, one of the main developers of reggae music and
accredited with having invented the dub, sings to Baby Krishna. World- and time-conscious lyrics.
Lee Perry is famous as
both musician and producer. He has been active from the late 50's and still
is.
In 1973 he built his
famous studio The Black Ark in his back yard (later on bare earth ground, floor removed, to be
in barefoot contact with Mother Earth when making music). Everything he
recorded in his studio was done using basic recording equipment, but through
his genius inventiveness Perry made it sound unique. He remained behind the
mixing desk for many years, producing songs and albums that stand out as a high
point in reggae history.

Throughout his career he
has worked with lots of notable fine musicians and bands such as Bob Marley,
Sly Dunbar, Keith Richards, George Clinton, Paul McCartney, Clash, Beastie Boys, Moby, The Orb, and
many more.

“Baby
Krishna” is from Perry's later career, Panic in Babylon, 2004. The same year, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Lee Perry #100 on their list of the 100 Greatest
Artists of All Time.
In 2012 he received the Jamaican Honours System award “Order of Distinction”, a high National Order, with the motto “Distinction Through Service”.
