Ed Carabao - Don't Cry: The Story of the Disposessed

Ed Carabao - Don't Cry: The Story of the Disposessed. Reggae album from the Thai pro-democracy protest-singer legend Aed Carabao (Ed), released in 2001 to celebrate 20 years since Bob's passing. Outernational reggae, ska & acoustic songs, sung mainly in Thai with some English. Includes Thai language versions of No Woman No Cry & I Shot the Sherriff, while Aed does his own songs on the Waiting in Vain, Jamming and some original riddim. This is essentially a concept album, exposing the plight of homeless, nationless tribal people in the Tai-Burma diaspora in general and Thailand in particular. Much in the spirit of the Tuff Gong... Also features a lambast against poverty by Pongthep (another legend) and two bonus songs by the full Carabao band from back in 1993. Aed has been a founding member and front man for Carabao since 1980, releasing nearly 100 albums and underground tapes.
