Jimmy Cliff has reached Grammy once again after 28 years. In 1985, in the second year of the REGGAE category of the award, the album "Cliff Hanger" surprised the world. Since then, Cliff has been remembered in nominations, but only in 2013 did he return to the top with the album "Rebirth".

"PUNK" RELATIONSHIP
The album was produced by Tim Armstrong, guitarist and vocalist of the punk band RANCID. They had never met before, but Jimmy Cliff had been highly recommended by a mutual friend of theirs, the late musician Joe Strummer, leader of the legendary punk band, The Clash. One of the songs on the album is actually a cover of the famous "Ruby Soho" (1995) by RANCID.

ABOUT THE ALBUM
Jimmy Cliff even declared that the album "Rebirth" (or Renascimento in Portuguese) does not have this name by chance. The singer says that the work speaks a lot about his personal growth, as an artist and as a man, and also about the "rebirth of the world" in his spiritualized vision.
