Wiki

Nyabinghi is the oldest of the Mansions of Rastafari. These Rastafarians are the strictest out of the six or so major groups. They pledge "love to all human beings", however they do not believe in violence, because they believe that only Jah has the right to destroy. They make this pledge because of the power of words, believing that only when all of Jah's children make the pledge together, the oppressors will be destroyed. In addition, they are often non-violent or follow the non-aggression principle. The Nyabinghi resistance inspired a number of Jamaican Rastafarians, who incorporated what are known as Nyabinghi chants (also binghi) into their celebrations (grounations). The rhythms of these chants were eventually an influence of popular ska, rocksteady and reggae music. Three kinds of drums are used in Nyabinghi music: bass, funde and keteh.
