Gaane ka naam hai Buffalo Soldiers, aur isko gaaya hai aapke apne Bhai Bob Marley ne.
Bob Marley was famous for raising social issues and the song Buffalo Soldiers is result of that effort.
Baat us samay ki hai jab USA was being consolidated and to displace the Native Americans, the blacks from Africa were deported to USA and most of them were slaves. Because of their looks as thick jute like hairs, thicks lips, dark skin and braod and wide nose they were named as Buffalo Soldiers by the natives. These Black African slave soldiers were part of a separate regiments raised for them. It was a racial discrimination to put them in a segregated Regiment.

Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta:
There was a buffalo soldier in the heart of america,
Stolen from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.

To me it makes a lot of sense:
How the dreadlock rasta was the buffalo soldier,
And he was taken from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.
