ASWAD african children

[PeterBultena]

nice nice nice!!!!!

[trevor1375]

Com pass by my yard in South London!!!!! Respect. Grew up with these tunes. Smoke a little, play dominoes and drink rum, make love to a fit woman. and put a good tune on open the windows and let everyone know!!!!!

[welshpenguin1]

Saw them live in '75 in Gloucester...only white guy in the room and some excellent Congolese, so no shortage of new friends : )

Delroy Washington was with them as well...must have been about 15 people on stage and the dubs they dropped live were just awesome.

[damarez]

Many African children, I wonder do they know where you're coming from The whole of the nation Living in these tenements, Crying and applying to their council For assistance every day Now that their tribulation so sad Now that their environment so bad High rise concrete No back yard for their children to play African children

[matsnotfat]

Saw them play here in Bristol on Sunday. Once they'd got the bland reggae ballads out of the way early on in the set it was top Dub and old skool - remembered why I was initially blown away hearing them at 9 years old on John Peel.

[drupeypants]

much better live than studio

[rlgray61]

Boo Yaa Kaa!! :-) love dese dudes!!

[mcoyibo]

[viewson800]

This was my era to. I just finished watching the BBC$ Documentary Reggae Britania. What good memories I remember following Coxson, Saxon, Twelve Tribe. I have this album still. Love it. I need to return to UK after 25 years here in the US.

[lukeydoeslikey]

[jacksapphire]

[rampasad]

Aswad Steel Pulse and dont forget also from west london Misty in Roots

[flabbaWoy]

Aswad material before then 1984 is some greatest reggae I ever heard. The stuff form a later era I love to hate ...

[friendofCHAKA]

The aswad album" live and direct" is a classic

[DjChoci]

[thoughtfighter35]

@DjChoci : ) - totally cool plate, the beats are bangin on this track, good for mixin up with other more dubby beats???

[jesamani75]

@DjChoci isn't it the hamond at 3.18?

[DjChoci]

@jesamani75 COULD BE HOMIE

[swabes1]

There is no question regarding their body of work it is FANTASTIC seen

[Taliesini]

I've been searching for fingergun style but cant find it...That is one heavy tune from the 80s...Rooootz!!! Ites!!!

[IHAVEPWNAGE]

why would they sing a song about children that have AIDS

[dhunputhmanas]

Because AIDS doesn't exist in Africa only and they are trying to create awareness....Are they doing anything wrong? If you don't know you,me and even anybody can catch the disease if we do not take precautions while having sex.

[masterix6]

Blaze di ganga man. Roots and culcha

[misstutorial]

i was born in England n i grew up listening to their music. This is one of my favorite. This song came out around 1982/83; i wasn't born yet, lol.

[LEOGANES]

A truly great era, the great ASWAD out of england, also lets not forget the other one STEELE PULSE....

[BurgerGirth148]

Yes man ASWAD are amazing, love fire - what a chune!! STEEL PULSE and BLACK ROOTS! What an era to live in, man i love the music these guys make!! Peace

[KDubRollerblader]

@LEOGANES what about misty in roots, black slate, black roots, matumbi, tradition, cimarons, or musical youth?

[JuniorRodigan]

I consider myself blessed and lucky to have seen Aswad at this taping and thier historical concerts at Meanwhile Gardens and Crystal Palace Stadium... wihtout doubt the greatest reggae BAND of all time... each show was a unique experience... they NEVER played the same song in the same way... every time you got a NEW twist...amazing ... amazing..

[NHPollon]

u are right!

i also consider see Alpha Blondy as one of the best reggae band!

[y0123]

absolutely beautiful

[IHAVEPWNAGE]

i agree this is a very buetiful song

[davidicelaverdad]

los mejores!!!!!

[habi187]

who is the singer??

[deldez100]

brisdley ford

[shottly01]

Brinsley left ASWAD to work in British television...I think he was also a child star on a sitcom on the BBC.

[gaerboy]

Brinsley was a child star of the Double Deckers

[nomeemania]

watch?v=hrjDPkqV2PM&feature=ch annel_page

Must Watch video!

[rasdenco22]

Yes Dread, I agree with you. The Mighty Aswad, with tunes like warrior charge, african children.. Mighty sound, heavy bassline, Aswad Horn Section ...

I dont understand this change of repertoire , that they made during end 80's..

Hope they wake up 1 day and release some old skool roots.

[titusho2]

Fantastic ! love the dubbbbbbbing! its deep.

[zzUzzie]

Memories of beautifull summers in London. Sunsplash, Carnival...

Rewind!!

[winedrummer]

Iritical! Me worry fe dem pickney!

[TayNStu]

BETTER LIVE

[lardsah]

Agree. BIG tune. Had the pleasure of seeing them in concert a few times too.

Big Up for the upload.

[Safir73]

Big tune !!!!

Love & Blessings

[HutxyShaAk]

Great Video !!!

[leafamilyfriend]

they lost the roots sound in the 90 with shine but this sound is pure

enjoy

D:=)ZÉ

[kingston1201]

This is one of the toughest reggae songs ever given to us. Poor Aswad, what happened to your roots sound!? I mourn you.

[jackthehatuk]

@kingston1201 I totally agree, the Live and direct version is so much better. It has the soul. Aswad made the mistake of going commercial which was sad cos they were awesome. (Just my opinion.) Bob Marley went commercial but he didnt have to negotiate.....the whole world loved him already.

[duckydub]

@jackthehatuk commercialization was the problem, totally agree with yr comment.

[congatech71]

good dub music

[Rasclot222]

Great song. Aswad one of the best

[SavedandSound]

Just finished listening to Why by Tracy Chapman and found this vid, sent to me by ma sista and grande amie in France.

Heartbreaking message.

We are speaking the same language, KerPat.

Props for the post and lyrics, selassie73.

Peace, Harmony, Love,
