Hi Fadel
Good to hear from you. Not sure what you mean though as it gives the full line-up on this site including;
Piano : Harold Butler
Organ : Leslie Butler

Mind you the brass section is a little more difficult to pin-point!

"*Nice for the link dread and turnersmemo, do you think it could be based on this...? I recognise the link, yeah... but more chance that its a coincidence*"

I agree, think (and hope) it's just a coincidence! But it is impossible to know for sure.

BTW, my favourite version of this song is [Satta Me No Born Yah](http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/music/clipse ... 46-6417401) by Bernard Collins.

Irie!....

Wow! Thanx for all di knowledge my friends! Now, Im a little wiser! :)

Just one more question.... Does anyone know who it is in di beginning of the Rockers-movie playing di Satta-tune?

Is it Third World maybe? Theyre on di soundtrack I mean....

But.... it doesnt feel like it is Third World, mon! Strange comment maybe? How the band in di movie are jammin and all, it doesnt fell like Third World....
Hehe, does my argument make any sense?

I know what you mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8sYEYxj528 This jam is not included in the soundtrack. Unfortunatly, I don't know who is playing this nyabinghi version of Satta.

The third world version of Satta is featured elsewhere in the movie and therefore on the soundtrack album.

I can't be sure but i kept the idea that the abyssinians themselves where singing in the background of the scene. Can't remember anything about the percussionists.

Irie again....

Well, I did a little research myself. Checked di extras on the Rockers-dvd and it turns out dat it is Ras Michael & The Sons of Negus dat plays the congos and stuff.... And yes Pluie, u are correct, it is The Abyssinians dat sings in the background!
