I'm trying to find anything by a band called Wadada from JA, late 70's. I met with the lead singer from the band last week and he told me they released an album in the 70's, i forgot the title now but hoping someone will be able to help.... any info anyone?

In 1983 they recorded the immortal "Reggae Sunsplash" anthem for Bunny Wailer's Solomonic label.
Their only album came in 1989.

no. Nobody is interested in albums. Only in 7" or 12"es (WITH a version on the B side.)

Yes, I know what you are speaking of the song is:
Black Wadada - Burning Spear (1975)
Keep the fire burning...
