this one is for those who follow today's JA scene.I have a few LP's by this singer/DJ but i once heard a great tune on a radio that doesn't usually play such music.The lyrics said : "waan go back to Mama Africa", maybe it even was the chorus.the vocals were top notch and The riddim was a great example of current quality music (tepid Seasons and Drop Leaf, no thanx! ;D ).Who produced this and were there any other tunes on the same riddim?
any help appreciated.thanks

Do you have the "Smile" album? If not, could it be a tune called African Bound? I can't recall the lyrics to that one to say for sure (I have similarly only ever heard it on radio once or twice), but it is also a repatriation themed song.
I have never seen it as a single or know of other versions, however. Nice, nice tune though, one of my favourites by Junior Kelly.

Thanks, i do have that Smile album - i guess i own 3 of them - on a pre version but like with a lot of those pres, i tend to scatter them here or there.If it is on that one, well, i MUST find it fast!
many thanks for that clue, anyway.

Could it be Jr Kelly & Lukie D's "Back A Yard" ? Rhythms called Back A Yard as well.

no, it isn't, Lukie D's style is very easy to recognise.That's certainly a JK solo tune.still haven't found my Smile pre  |

Are you sure it's Junior Kelly and not Starkey Banton who sings something like that in "Mama Africa" ?
Btw, I have two cd's from Junior Kelly (Love so nice & Bless) in perfect (played only once, not my style) condition to trade !!
Somebody up for a trade ?

Are you sure its Junior Kelly and not Gyptian who has a tune call 'Mama Africa' out now on Ital Block 45 !!!  i know its an unlikely mistake to make but the lyrics you qoute are similar  back to Junior Kelly I'll have a stab at 'Black African Star' (FP records 45) cant find it right now though to confirm the lyrics, sorry  respect Dots |

given the sort of FM radio it was played on, i'm pretty much sure that tunes is on an album, not the kind of program that would consider playing 45's.200 % sure this is Jr Kelly!  |

African Bound on the Smile-album is a great song. Produced by Christopher Miller, recorded at Tuff Gong. Junior Murvin on guitar!
