This is "Grounation: The Spiritual Roots Of Reggae" by Count Ossie and The Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari. This album is the 2007 Retro Double release of the Original Complete Grounation (this album was made in Italy). It was produced by Arnold Wedderburn under the musical direction of Cedric Brooks.

"Grounation is 'a Rastafarian gathering at which nyahbingi music, usually relentless drumming accompanied by chanting, is played.' Of all Jamaican music, nyahbingi is the closest in feel to African music. When recorded by its leading practitioners, Count Ossie and Ras Michael, it makes for intriguing sounds related to, but not exactly the same as, standard reggae."
