El Mesias Se Reencarno

Zona Ganjah's song 'El Mesias Se Reencarno' delves into the profound themes of divinity, prophecy, and cultural misrepresentation, set against the backdrop of Rastafarian beliefs. The lyrics narrate the story of Haile Selassie I, the former Emperor of Ethiopia, revered as a messianic figure in Rastafarianism. The song criticizes the concealment of truth by Western societies about the divine nature of Selassie, asserting that he fulfills the biblical prophecies of a messiah.

The song begins by expressing frustration over the hidden truths that the 'rastaman'—a follower of Rastafarianism—tries to reveal. It highlights significant dates and events, like the birth of Selassie and his coronation, which are seen as divine fulfillments of prophecy. The artist uses these historical references to argue that Selassie's life and reign were in accordance with biblical predictions, particularly from the Book of Isaiah and the assertions of Peter in the Acts of the Apostles.

Moreover, 'El Mesias Se Reencarno' challenges the Western depiction of Christ and criticizes the broader societal denial of African contributions to humanity. The song points out the irony in the traditional Western Christian iconography that often depicts Christ as Caucasian, contrasting this with the belief in Selassie's messianic role and his African heritage. Through its lyrics, the song calls for a reevaluation of spiritual narratives and emphasizes the importance of recognizing humanity's roots in Africa, the 'cradle of humanity.'
