Kaya was the Wailers' final studio LP before 1979's Survival, arguably the album on which Bob Marley and his band reached pure pop-rock bliss (with a reggae base, natch!) via melodic tunes like "Africa Unite" and "Ride, Natty, Ride." Released in 1978, Kaya saw Marley moving more in that direction, musically, with pop melodies developing and even lead guitar piling on top of the syncopated reggae backbeats. Kaya concentrates mostly on "lighter" subjects--namely matters of the heart or just feeling good (read: screw art, let's dance)--as titles like the joyful "Easy Skanking," the beautiful "Is This Love," "Satisfy My Soul," and "Misty Morning" surely illustrate. --Bill Holdship

 Marley does it again January 31, 2000
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Kaya was Bob Marley & the Wailers best melodic album they did. For those that wanted to hear the sweeter and soulful side of reggae Kaya is the one. Although the lyrics werent as deep or political as Bob's other albums Kaya brings an approach that allot of 70's music brought but with a reggae twist. This is definately an album worth having in your reggae collection.
First Timers should buy this album December 4, 1998

The is the first album I bought of Marley's, and it's by far one of the best(next to Exodus). Discover the delights of Jah Rasta Fari and the delight of Bob Marley's musical soul. From songs such as Kaya to Easy Skanking the CD is a classic. I would also recommend Pato Banton Captured by Mad professor. if you like this you'll like Pato Banton.
Best Bob Marley Album Made February 27, 2001

Although not replete with hits like the preceding album, Exodus, Kaya is the Wailer's best album, better even than Catch a Fire. It is not full of strong political messages or deep Rastafarian chants, but rather it returns to capture the beauty of free-spirited, light hearted reggae tunes. Someone looking for deep, angry lyrics might not be satisfied, but if it's great sound you're looking for, this is the album. Somehow it always gets mediocre reviews, perhaps because it does not fulfill what people who listen to reggae expect of a political group like the Wailers. However, Marley has definitely not sold out, and songs such as Easy Skanking, Sun is Shining, She's Gone, Misty Morning, Time Will Tell, and Running Away are all some of his most delightful lost classics, and deserve far more credit than they get. The title song may very well be one of his best songs ever. This album is a must for everyone who enjoys reggae, or beautiful music period.
Ragge Bliss - Marley's best! September 19, 2000

Marley's "Kaya" is pure Jamaican funk. Of all his perviously released albums, "Kaya" blended understatement, smooth grooves, and an addictive Bass/Drum beats. This album migrated Raggae in the mainstream in the late Seveties. Gems such as "Kaya", "Is this Love", "Satisfy My Soul", and "She's Gone" make it Marley's most balanced CD. Skip all the cheezy Marley compilations and buy the real thing - Kaya!

This is probably Bob Marley's best studio album. It is not as politicaly charged as the others, but is the quintesential album for relaxtion and just plain feeling good. There is no other greater artist than Bob Marley and this album is definete proof.
