About this album

Boris Gardiner’s Every Nigger Is A Star - Original Sound Track is a cult 1973 soundtrack that fuses reggae, funk and soul into a sharply groove-led statement. Built around the title theme, the music balances tough basslines, instrumental muscle and pop immediacy, capturing the energy of early-1970s Jamaican film culture. Gardiner, already an important figure in Caribbean popular music, gives the score a distinctive blend of streetwise rhythm and melodic ease. Heard beyond the film itself, the soundtrack has endured as one of his most recognisable works and a striking example of reggae’s crossover with funk.
