The harmonies remind me of a Trinidad singer called Ras Eliebank

I agree it does not sound jamaican nor UK and the caribean track (more than african) sound right to me. Could be some singer like Bankie Banx and his roots herbs. The first LP, although it is much more bluesy than this have similitudes.


ps ; indeed excellent track

Now that putfile is down, it's impossible to tell if it matches the original sample... Perhaps someone has a copy of the first file...
