Kebra NegastHanded down orally from generation to generation in Rastafarian and West Indies culture. Because the subject of the text presents an African view of the Old and New Testament, the Kebra Negast has long been prohibited in many Caribbean nations and this ban is enforced even today. However, it has survived through the spoken word, as the cornerstone of the Rastafarian religion and was a significant influence on the lyrics of the late Bob Marley, among others.External Links\n* English translation at Sacred Texts |
