Greetings, I only remember the beginning chanting of this song:
"Chiwawa chiwawa chiwawa, chi chi wawa yeah!" haha, heavy roots tune, any info would be appreciated.

It very well could be Howie Smart's "Chu Wa Wa" 12", which was released on King Culture's label as the B-side to The Mighty Diamond's "Pass The Knowledge" in 1981.
If you have a clip, we could confirm it.

Greetings,
the tune could very well be 'Natty Dread Christmas' by Iron P(h)oenix. To be heard on Jah Shaka Soundsystem tapes.
One Love

Iron Phoenix - Natty Dread Christmas ( In Thing)?

Killer rhythm.
I prefer the Heptones cut (Barry Llewellyn on lead )
"We Want It"

Maybe is not, I was just guessing.
Great song anyway IMO.

Ah yes, I think it's the iron phoenix. I believe I heard the dub version, very nice tune. Many thanks for all your efforts.
