New single and video from Meta & The Cornerstones appears on Echoes Of Time (May 29, 2026), recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios and focusing on colonial education, mental slavery, and reclaiming African identity.
Recording took place at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios in Wiltshire, UK.
Lyrics and visuals address colonial education, mental slavery, and the construction of historical narratives.
Meta calls for personal and cultural reconnection as part of continued liberation beyond political independence.
"Walls Of Colonisation" is the latest track and music video by Meta & The Cornerstones. It appears on Meta's most recent album, Echoes Of Time, which was released on May 29, 2026. The recording sessions for the song took place at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios in Wiltshire, UK.
The track examines the continuing effects of colonialism across Africa and on younger generations. It addresses concrete themes: colonial education systems, mental slavery, and the way history is presented and taught. The message is not limited to institutional critique—Meta urges listeners to look inward, reconnect with their own history, purpose, and identity, and to pursue liberation that goes beyond formal political independence.
The piece is a conscious reggae statement. The combination of location (Real World Studios) and subject matter positions the song as part of the contemporary roots-reggae tradition that treats music as a medium for social commentary. The video serves as a visual companion to the themes in the lyrics rather than a separate narrative diversion.
The release and video were shared through World A Reggae Entertainment, a platform that covers Reggae, Dancehall, and Jamaican culture. The site's write-up summarizes the song's themes and production details.
