Question

Song- Buffalo Soldiers.

Who is the voice that is speaking? What do we know about this person? What is his background? Is there a bias in what is written? How do you know this from the text? Remember that it is not enough simply to name the speaker. What can you say about the speaker based on references to the text or from the context?

Answer 1

Written by Bob Marley and Noel "King Sporty" Williams, the voice in this song is that of the Jamaican Rastafarians that feel a connection with the "Buffalo Soldiers," the black U.S. cavalry regiments that helped win the Indian Wars.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo Soldier And he was taken from Africa", he says, "Win the war for America," "Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival Driven from the mainland To the heart of the Caribbean," describing their history under white domination and the Buffalo Soldiers as a symbol of courage and survival.
