THE MEDITATIONS - DISCOGRAPHY: (Reggae Vocal Trio)

Last updated: October 2019
Ansel Meditation


The Meditations - Biography:

The Meditations are a reggae vocal harmony group from Jamaica formed in late 1974. They recorded their first hit single 'Woman is Like a Shadow' in 1974 at Channel One Recording Studio.

They released several studio albums, their debut was "Message From The Meditations", while their latest is "Jah Always Find A Way".
After more than 40 years, they are still recording music and performing in the world.

Founder Members: Ansel Cridland, Danny Clarke and Winston Watson.

Ansel “Meditation”

As part of the foundation of reggae music, Ansel “Meditation” Cridland has over 40 years producing, writing, arranging and performing for fans all over the world.

As leader of the legendary trio (The Meditations), Ansel and his fellow band members: Danny Clarke and the late Winston Watson, (who passed away earlier this year R.I.P.), performed at the historical ONE LOVE PEACE CONCERT, held April, 22nd 1978, at the request of Bob Marley.

New Album “Can’t Stop The Flow Of Life" 2019

“Can’t Stop The Flow Of Life" has a different feel and energy than most of the band’s releases.
...A fusion of traditional Roots Reggae, with dancehall and dubstep, reminiscent of a time in Reggae Music, when artists like U-Roy and I-Roy were “toasting” in the dancehalls of Jamaica.

Ansel, with the help of his long time friend, legendary Reggae artist Ranking Joe, teamed up on three out of the eight songs to give this nostalgic, yet timeless feeling. Check out “Rasta Faith “ for example.

It’s reminiscent of the pass. Yet the message in the music reflects the current state of the culture today.
Album available worldwide on all digital music platforms for streaming & purchase
