Niyabinghi chanting Rastafari live

Niyabinghi chanting[1] typically includes recitation of the Psalms, but may also include variations of well-known Christian hymns and adopted by Rastafarians. The rhythms of these chants were eventually an influence of popular ska, rocksteady and reggae music.

Niyabinghi chants include:

• "400 Million Blackman"
• "400 Years" (its lyrics influenced Peter Tosh's "400 Years")
• "Babylon In I Way"
• "Babylon Throne Gone Down" (arranged by Bob Marley to "Rastaman Chant" in 1973)
• "Banks of the River"
•
