October 2007 - Centered around Dennis
Bovell who would also become known for his
production works for Linton Kwesi Johnson,
Matumbi was one of the hardest Roots Reggae
bands to arise in the UK during the 1970's.
In this video, we will meet Matumbi as they
perform for a UK audience back in 1978. While the
people dance, the singers sing conscious lyrics
over the vibrant music.
The video is obviously very dated, and this has
an extra dimension. Some people will recognize the
times, as they grow older, while a young
generation will love the music and see people
dancing to it in a time before they were born.
Whatever the case, be sure to enjoy this
classic performance by a classic UK Reggae band.
