I am after two tunes, the first one is on the "Dub Landing Volume 2" album called Base but I need to know the vocal version. The lyrics goes "war war all over", I think it was on Greensleeves label. The second is a dancehall tune and the lyrics go something like this " shaba shaba yeh I love you!
Thanks

The on Dub Landing v2 do you mean the one that starts "africa we want to go..."?

According to algoriddim.org (check out that site! http://www.algoriddim.org/d.php?rid_id=AfricaAnthonyJo) its Africa by Anthony Johnson, but I dont know the tune, and the only versions I could find on youtube was a modern digi tune so I cant confirm this.

Anyway, another version is credited to Linval Thompson, another Scientist mix:

As for the other tune you are after, I have no idea sorry.
Can you give us any more information? Is it "real instrument" or digital? Is it a smooth singing voice or a more "rough" toasting voice?

I half have in my mind somone saying "Shaba do shaba yeeah" possibly Johnny Osbourne or Michael Prophet... (if JO, probably on Folly Ranking or Fally Lover as those are the only albums of his that I listen to regularly) I dont know what tune though, its just what came into my mind when I read the shaba, but Im sure lots of people say it or variants. Still I will have a listen and let you know if I find any possibilities.

Ya it's by Anthony Johnson, you can find the vocal on the Linval Thompson - Can't Stop Us Now compilation.
