Roots of Tamoki Wambesi

Comprehensive selection of Roy Cousins productions mid-1970s to mid-80s. Strictly conscious vibes. Backing by the Roots Radics & the Revolutionaries (aka Force Of Music) and largely recorded at Channel One. Focus is predominantly on vocal productions with their dubs though deejays Prince Far I, Jah Stitch, Baba Dread, I Roy and resident in-house chanter Charlie Chaplin nice things up. Watch out for some really serious dub versions

The man likes to recycle backing tracks though he almost exclusively used originals, including classic Royals riddims. So no shortage of version excursions here. While not in strict chronological order, we begin mainly with some heavy 70s roots before moving on to his popular roots-dancehall from the early 80s...
