Doctor Alimantado - Born For A Purpose aka Sons Of Thunder
Review by Sarah Lange
Born For A Purpose aka Sons Of Thunder is a reggae album that was released by Doctor Alimantado in 1979. The album features a mix of roots reggae and dub music with socially conscious lyrics that reflect the political climate of Jamaica at the time.
The album opens with the title track, "Born For A Purpose", which sets the tone for the rest of the album. It features a heavy bass line and a powerful vocal performance from Doctor Alimantado, who sings about the struggles of the Jamaican people and their determination to overcome them.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Mash It Up", "Gimmie Mi Gun", and "Poison Flour", which all feature Doctor Alimantado's signature dub-style vocals and politically charged lyrics.
The album also features some impressive instrumental tracks, such as "Plead I Cause" and "I Shall Fear No Evil", which showcase Doctor Alimantado's talent as a producer.
