Suns Of Arqa was the band that backed Prince Far I on one of his concerts.

Sam Hugh's "Woman A Follow Man" (on the wiser dread comp. from nighthawk) is almost laughably sexist. Too bad, because the rhythm and melody are excellent.

yes..suns of arqa did several albums . on yellowman/mad professor "a feast of yellow dub" yellow has a dig at prince fari on a vocal snippet there , doubtless on the disagreement between he and fari. i used to love yellowman for the liveliness of the mans riddims and lyrics when i was a boy. great material...until you realise how slack he is
