Merger - Biko (Emergency Records 12") - Been loving this disco lately. Hard rhythm and great lyrics.

A few post-85 dancehall tunes to broaden the palette if you don't mind :

Danny Dread - Gunshot Fi Botha (Steely & Clevie, 1988 - Fast Car riddim)

Tony Rebel - Mandela Story (Penthouse, 1990 - African Beat riddim)

Carlene Davis - Rise Up (Jammy's, 1994 - Tempo riddim)

Beenie Man - Steve Biko (Shocking Vibes, 1997 - Cherry Oh Baby riddim with interpolations from Redemption Song) in which Beenie sounds like a post-'Til Shiloh Buju Banton.

[Marcus]

Eddie Grant - Johanna

One more which I think has not been reported yet:

Sugar Minott - Nah Go To South Africa ('Rydim' LP from 1985)

Peace, MadC.
