• Africans – Why Worry
    • Africans – Version
    • 1. Why Worry
    • 2. Version

    Recorded at Federal and released in 1973. And featuring Inner Circle on rhythm . They provide a sound that comes very close to the Now Gen sound. Which was the main band at Federal studios during this time. Stare McCallum is the producer on this tune. This is another great song from The Africans. For lovers of the Country style - it is actually a must. This style of reggae is almost forgotten now - but the tremendous success that came to reggae music in the seventies came out of this sound. Think Gregory Isaacs.
