In the album cover, he is seen in a white suit and keffiyeh, with a soldier's helmet and a tunic with the insignia of peace on the chest.

We also see him with his cap and his broad smile, or even bareheaded kissing a dolphin.

He always appears with his dark glasses and rasta hat.

Different costumes, but the same success for 40 years, since he became an icon of African reggae, and reggae in general.

40 years that he denounces injustices and is committed to peace, harmony, for Africa too.

Alpha Blondy

is the guest of VMDN.

He comes to present his new album, a double CD called "Eternity" already available in digital.

It will be in stores next Friday, June 24, 2022.
