Alborosie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Music is an international force
An international language
From Sicily to Kingston, Jamaica
This is Alborosie
Real authentic reggae music
The opening lines of Alborosie's song "Intro" speak to the universality and power of music. The first two lines assert that music has the ability to transcend geographical and cultural differences, creating connections between people across the world. The lines "music is an international force" and "an international language" reinforce this idea, suggesting that music can be a unifying and transformative tool.
The final two lines bring the focus back to Alborosie himself. By identifying his origins in Sicily and his presence in Kingston, Jamaica, he places himself within the global context of reggae music. The last line, "Real authentic reggae music," suggests that Alborosie sees his own music as a continuation of this tradition, grounded in the genuine spirit and style of reggae.
Overall, the lyrics of "Intro" emphasize the power of music to bring people together, crossing borders and forging connections. This idea is particularly resonant within the context of reggae, which has long been associated with social and political activism and championing of unity, peace, and love.
