The quality of this article or section may be compromised by weasel words.You can help Wikipedia by removing weasel words.The essential goal of Christafari is to convert Rastafarians to Christianity.Jamaican patois, the language of a lot of reggae music.In 1989 the seventeen year old Mohr decided to turn away from his Rastafarian beliefs, stopped using marijuana and committed his life to Christianity at a Church summer camp.His albums have been moderately successful.Soulfire proved to ba an early success for the fledgeling Gotee Records.Originally intending to produce Out Of Eden's Lovin' the Day, they couldn't find a label to sign the act to, and so began distributing the band's material on their own.Gravity (2003) was the first album to be distributed simultaneously in Christian and general retail markets.Mohr also runs his own label, Lion of Zion Entertainment, where he promotes artists with a creed similar to his own.Style
Christafari's lyrics are characterized by both an obsession with Rastafari and a distinctly evangelical message.Christafari also address Rastafarian doctrine directly.Musically, the group is typical of reggae.While Christafari has continued as reggae, Temple Yard is fusion oriented, showing pop, reggae, soul, and gospel influence similar to UB40 or Big Mountain.Criticisms
Christafari have received criticism from both Christian and Rastafarian groups.But there are some like phyladelphia gospo singers, Israel,Mieraf,...With his dreadlocks Mohr and other "Christafarians" have been called "wolves in sheep's clothing".Christafari's claim to be counter cult implies that Rastafari is a cult, their call to a wayward generation implies that the Rastas are wayward or a lost generation while their claim to evangelize the word of God to Rastas implies that Rastas don't have the word of God."CHRISTAFARIANISM: Don't Be A Rasta, Be Like A Rasta".Christafari in its turn criticized Messian Dread for smoking marijuana and "blending Rastafari and Christianity".The word "Jah" is used once in the King James Version of the Bible in Psalm 68:4.The band has previously defended the use of the word with the argument that "Jah" is a shortening for "Yahweh" (also spelled "Jahweh") as used in the Bible.The name "Christafari", according to claims on the band's website, is not a portmanteau of "Christian" and "Rastafari", but is instead supposedly derived from Greek words translating as "Those who have seen Christ".Members
