In the midst of all the unpleasantness happening across the globe and in particular the USA, Peetah Sancho‘s latest release, “When The Trumpet Blows,” is a timely, well received record that’s inspired by the racial inequality in the United States.

Although Sancho is a Jamaican, he migrated to America as a youth so he grew up in what many black Americans are calling a racially unjust system. It is his numerous negative experiences within this oppressive system that initially inspired the song “When The Trumpet Blows .” He began working on it some time ago but only completed the record earlier this year after the blatant murder of George Floyd at the hands of police.

The track was recorded in New York and it features some of reggae music’s most respected musicians: Derrick Barnett on bass, Clifford Simpson on drums,  Kevin (from Steel Pulse) on Trumpet, Andrew Bassford on guitar and Shae Lawrence on backing vocals. This song is featured on Peetah Sancho‘s upcoming album, which is not yet titled.

When asked what he would like listeners to take away from the song, Peetah said the following: “the malicious treatment towards black people will be justified by the Most High who sit upon his throne and still rule.”
