Eloquent lyrics from Horace Andy's cut to Kunta Kinte by Mad Professor (one of many who have versioned this dubplate).

Sir Bellyas wrote:The famous Revolutionaries dubplate Kunte Kinte - finally issued by Pressure Sounds a couple of years ago, and still available - uses the TV programme's theme tune. Whatever the story regarding the "truth" of Haley's book, the series provided a dramatic human insight into the traumatic events of slavery. It left a deep impression on many of those who watched it.
The tune sounds more of a UK dustep style than Channel one sound and the only one of its kind from the Revs.May be some UK engineers did some nob twiddling.
