Even the weak ballad "Les Armes de Therese" is saved by his gritty vocals. "Bakoroni" and "Les Imbeciles" are other great examples of Blondy at his best. These same elements combine seamlessly throughout the entire album and leave great music in their wake. "Saraka" is an immediate standout, complete with characteristically majestic horns, a feral flute hook, and, of course, Blondy and the I-Threes' mellifluous vocals. Perhaps in an attempt to avoid some of the experimental failures which plagued other albums, Yitzhak Rabin was recorded at the Tuff Gong studios in Kingston, Jamaica and accompanying vocals were provided by the I-Threes. Nothing much has changed stylistically for Blondy, as he is still able to pound out throbbing, international reggae laced with sharp messages of peace, love, and universality.
