World-popular Reggae Band Morgan Heritage Share Their Song "Freedom" with you! LISTEN to "Freedom," Your Gift from Morgan Heritage! Morgan Heritage are more than just a legendary reggae band. They're a revolution, a family, a force of nature, and a crew of five independent artists on a musical mission. And they are sharing their song "Freedom" with you in its entirety. Morgan Heritage is comprised of vocalist/keyboardist Una Morgan, vocalist Peter Morgan and keyboardist/vocalist Roy "Gramps" Morgan, rhythm guitarist "Lukes" Morgan and percussionist "Mr. Mojo" Morgan, five of reggae vocalist Denroy Morgan's 29 children. Raised in a Jamaican household in New York and educated in Massachusettes, the members of Morgan Heritage share a culturally diverse family heritage. The group, originally an octect and recording as Morgan Heritage since 1991, received their first big break by performing at Reggae Sunsplash, where MCA offered them a recording contract almost as soon as they left the stage. Their time since then has been spent reconnecting with their musical heritage, from the Ivory Coast of Africa to Jamaica, and to recording and touring the world to spread their Roots Reggae message of peace and inspiration. According to keyboardist/vocalist Una Morgan, "music is a universal thing. Our message is that life is a miracle and a gift from God, and, what we do with our lives is our gift in return. We want to Inspire people to value life." Morgan Heritage is pleased to share their song "Freedom" with you as a wish for a joyful holiday season. We are profoundly grateful for their generosity. And true to their Roots Reggae heritage, the members of Morgan Heritage follow their father's advice to "always make sure that our music touches the soul. We shouldn't just produce the music where you can say, 'Yes, these are good musicians.' Even if it's only something simple, it should touch the heart of everyone. There are a lot of small things that he instilled in us that we carry with us throughout our life."
