The best roots record off all time. Lee Perry brought the best out of the vocalists. It’s a supernatural ode to the real people. The fisherman, the Ital farmers, the beautiful lifestyle of the Rasta! This is country reggae that deals with country topics. It holds up today as an almost religious artifact.
I listen to this every day and everytime it touches the deepest part of my soul, it makes me emotional in the most beautiful way. absolut masterpiece 🌞💜🙌🏼💯
Heard this at an Aba Shanti dub night in London in the 90’s. Also Dj played it before an Israel Vibration concert around the same time. Visceral experience to hear this on vinyl on a full-on sound system. Mind-blowing. I have the vinyl album Heart of the Congos. Lucky!
I bought the Album in the 80's, by advise of my best friend, who played at that time lead guitar in a Reaggea formation. And I bought 2 records of Mad Professor, at the same place that day. It was a good investment, indeed...
a local soundsystem plays this tune from time to time on their regular dance. visceral experience indeed. the last time, my emotions cracked (for what ever reasons). i had to run out, crying, but came back immedietly, run to the towers, and celebrated the shit out of my emotions.
"Row Fisherman row, lots of hungry-belly pickney dey ashore, millions of dem..... Simon Peter, James and John, come ashore to feed the hungry belly ones." - The Congos. Amen! Selah!! The Congos featuring the elegant falsetto, the great Ras Cedric Myton in Row Fisherman. Pay close attention to the Congo dub at the end, a.k.a. Yahoo dub. It was ably anchored by none other than the recently departed great Lee "Scratch" Perry. I and I think dis y'a one should be the natural anthem of Nigeria's world famous Yahoo Yahoo boys a.k.a. 419ers. Jah Jesus Christus told Peter and the bredrins, John and Co. "I shall mek y'all Fishers of men." But our Yahoo-Yahoo bredrins chose rather to become Fishers of Dollars!
AS I&I is on Trial & Tribulations IN these Times, I turn to these modern-day ,Psalms, and seek refuge in their pertinent Truths, Comfort and Sustenance...👀 💚💛💓

Maddddd
Agreed. Emphatically. ❤️
The best tho? Abyssinians
"an almost religious artifact."?? What?? Its just a good catchy tune, brah.
Jesus’ disciples were fishermen, “about to reach a higher ground “
one of the few songs you know the world needs to hear but you know the world wouldnt listen.
