The Bob Marley song “Kaya” gives its name to the 1978 album Kaya.
“Kaya” is Jamaican slang for cannabis, and the song discusses the singer wanting relief from trouble and rain. The title reflects a recurring element of Jamaican popular culture and Rastafari-influenced vocabulary, although the album also contains love songs and reflective material.
The album Kaya was recorded during the same broad period as Exodus and included several tracks that had already appeared in earlier forms or on previous releases. Its sound was generally regarded as warmer and more relaxed than the explicitly political tone associated with some of Marley’s other work.
The title is sometimes confused with “Easy Skanking,” another song on Kaya, or with “Lively Up Yourself,” which appeared on earlier releases. The album’s title track is simply “Kaya,” making the answer a direct song-to-album connection.
