For those of you interested this full concert has recently been released on DVD, it comes with the CD Album they just released on amazon etc.
Here are the lyrics as i understand them..not sure about the protestants and catholics bit tho, may have this wrong.
"Fighting against your brothers every day now, fighting against your sisters it's a disgrace now. Don't be like the protestants and the catholics who are killing one another, let me tell you now...we don't want no tribal war on ya..."
I recorded a Black Roots gig on Radio 1 in 81 or 82. Clint Eastwood & General Saint were at the same gig. I still have the recording, but it's in MW not FM
OMG this gives me chills. ever since i acquired album "in the frontline" a few years back, it was an instant fave-for-life. I just learned today that it is 25 years old!!!!! I'm an idiot for not researching this more before. If you dont have the whole album, it is 100% tip top quality (maily) roots reggae. It will blow your mind and gets better every time. fer reeeeel!
black roots are cool , i have old 12inch 45 singles. bristol rock,tribal war,the father,the system.demo disc limited edition . I also have another 12inch 45 which has chanting for freedom,confusion,what them a do.early eighties 81-82.I am from bristol , seen em many times in old days.along with prince fari , culture,desmond decker,jah thomas,these class acts all came to bristol and i used to go on a regular basis to see em.still love the reggae,will try my best to upload the discs i have.
where can i find this cd with tribal war, juvenile delinquent and other hits. It is very hard to find there cds online. Let me know where to get more fire from these strong conscious brethrens. One love and keep rocking with Jah melodies. Blessed love!
