Culture?s music, featuring the lead vocals of Joseph Hill, is solidly roots. Hill?s devotion to the traditional Rastafarian values of purity, simplicity and justice was exemplified by Culture?s lyrical themes.

Born in St. Catherine, Jamaica, and involved with music since early youth, Joseph Hill began his professional recording career in 1972 with the single ?Behold the Land.? By 1976 Joseph and his cousin Albert Walker had formed a trio whose name evolved into Culture with the release of the mythic Two Sevens Clash.

Joseph Hill performed solo under the name Culture and recorded several projects during the early eighties; he and Albert subsequently reunited and have since produced a long series of critically acclaimed recordings.

Joseph Hill died in Berlin, while on tour, in August of 2006.
