After a period of reflection and creative renewal, Dominican artist and cannabis advocate AbiYah Yisrael has released her latest single, “Chanting.” The track marks her return from a personal sabbatical and follows the momentum of a recent Cannabis Symposium held in her home country, where discussions centered on reshaping public perceptions of cannabis.
Speaking on her new release, AbiYah explained:
“I have been going through a time of deep reflection and reconnection with my inner self, and this is just one of the many songs from my new catalogue that I plan to share with the people—not just for entertainment, but for enlightenment and edutainment.”
“Chanting” delves into both the spiritual and practical dimensions of cannabis use. AbiYah highlights its sacramental role, citing references in Hebrew Scriptures, such as the use of kaneh bosom (aromatic hemp) in the incense prepared by Moses. She emphasizes its enduring significance within Rastafarian traditions as a means of deepening connection with the Creator.
The song also touches on cannabis’ medicinal value, pointing to its therapeutic potential in managing conditions such as epilepsy, migraines, and diabetes. In its chorus—“This ganja I’m steaming this morning”—AbiYah underscores responsible and health-conscious consumption, promoting steaming as an alternative to smoking.
Through her music and advocacy, AbiYah urges Dominicans and global listeners alike to move beyond outdated stigmas:
“I encourage everyone to continue re-educating themselves and to purge their minds of the propaganda surrounding cannabis, allowing for unbiased perspectives as legislation evolves worldwide.”
Produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by ObadYah under the ChaYah Studios label, “Chanting” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
