Here's a great reggae cut from Count Ossie's currently out of print "Tales of Mozambique" album. It's almost like a Jamaican Charles Mingus!
Ossie cut several incredible albums in a style of reggae called nyahbinghi. According to Roots Archives, "Nyahbinghi (sometimes spelt 'nyabhingi' or 'nyabingi') music in its purest form is the music played at Rastafarian meetings or 'grounations', and is based around a style of relentless drumming and chanting. Sometimes a guitar or horns are used (ska musicians such as Johnny 'Dizzy' Moore and Don Drummond developed their approaches at such gatherings), but no amplification at all is employed."
In other words, this is about the deepest shit you will ever hear. God, is it good.
