After hearing the 'best of Matumbi'  I thought I'd never wanna even say their name again, let alone give them another listen...  But I was very suprised to like a couple of songs from this one.....[Testify]....couldn't believe it was the same band? Sly and Robbie are listed on this lp so that didn't hurt anything...and the lead singer seemed to improve [compared to best of]....I thought three songs were VERY good   - with two others worthy of recording too. Anyone have any comments on this album??? Favorite songs... [thanks to Roots Archive for the lp cover] |

I have their first album - untitled and uncredited, it was released on Rama back in 1977 and touted as being by the "$th. Street Orchestra". Nice album too: I wonder...have any/all of these tracks appeared on a CD anywhere (apart from the one I made ;D)  |

I think Matumbi have released several beautiful tunes such as After Tonite, Bluebeat & Ska and Above all, one of my fave roots reggae tunes ever : Empire Road!
sure they don't sound like JA artists from the same era.So what ?

Interesting info, Mario - thanks. We'll see if dustygroove are as good as their word I don't have the "Reggae on Tempus" sets, though I've seen them about... |
