Culture- Cumbolo

[Jason Allen]

Okay, I'm gonna plead ignorance here.

I know Marcus Garvey is the figure at the top of this LP cover. Who are the two people below him?

[Well Charge]

I think one of the people portrayed is Joseph Hill.

lovely artwork, same artist that painted yabby you's beware and aswads new chapter of dub. as the three heads are on a map of africa i'd guess the third figure wearing the african head dress represents shaka zulu or some other warrior figure. just a guess of course. excellent album by the way. the brass is really nice.
