Mutaburaka Speaks On The Many Groups And Cultures Who Wore Dreadlocks Before Rastafari

In this reasoning Rastafari dub poet, musician, actor, educator, and radio host Mutabaruka speaks about the numerous groups and cultures who have worn dreadlocks prior to the Rastafari movement.

Mutabaruka says, "In the Aboriginal group in Australia, they have locks, they have locks. Now, there are two stories. In Numbers 6, it tell you that no razor should come up on your head neither shall you eat anything from the vine until the days of your separation. A lot of people say that’s where Rastaman got their idea of locks from. A next version is that during the Mau Mau Uprising --- a lot of you might not know about the Mau Maus, but you can check that out too. Jomo Kenyatta was known as the Burning Spear; that’s where Winston Rodney got his name from, the former president of Kenya, Jomo Kenyatta. He led an uprising against the British known as the Mau Mau and a lot of them wore locks and Rastaman seeing these people fighting white supremacy and colonialism, adapted that image."
