just for my own personal playlist, at least I may be able to find it again
Jah Shaka play Kunte Kinte duplate
me and a work colleague were once on a guestlist for a Mad Professor gig ( we'd provided the venue with broadband, nerd bizness ) and my work mate turned to me and said "let's go out for a spliff" but then I recognised a flute type sound and said to him "fuck no, kunte kinte" and then the bass landed... so we hung around for a bit and then we went outside for a smoke and got blanked by the bloke from iration steppas but that was preferable to being stunk out inside by the operator from a north west Sound who reeked of garlic... true stories...
oh, yeah, the point of this post was Shaka playing the legendary dubplate... ( google Overnight Players if you want a copy, tip!, or just look slightly below.. second clip.... )
sometime in the last six months or so I picked up this 12 ( edit: the A side is the instrumental to the "monster tune" **** I posted in the Fatman vs Coxsone vs Shaka 1993 clip a few posts above where the ranking dread pimped out in a gregory hat dude loses it while his OG matey boy in the pink cap forgets all about cool , B side is Kunte Kinte in a dub wise style, chapter one an two... )
Overnight Players - Shaka pt 1 / 2
^^^^ monster tune as played by Shaka in 1993 at his last ever clash, see below for full detail... ****
Overnight Players - Kunte Kinte's Revenge pt 1 /2
killer kunte kinte dub versions, after the "fact"
edit: I should mention I've been "picking up" 12s on the Cha Cha label for years, and this is a total fake entry into the discography - this 12 didn't exist before 2022, "fuckery", etc., ( Cha Cha as a concern was only active in the 80s, etc., )
edit; while I'm at it, let's post the Revolutionaries versions:
The Revolutionaries - Kunte Kinte Dub plate version 1,2 & 3
and before someone chimes in with "Steve Mqueen" ( edit: I've deleted a rant here, after all, this isn't the thread for hate )
**** this was annoying me, I knew I had this tune on vinyl... had to dig around a bit to pull out the 7 inch and here it is, the "monster tune" from the Shaka "I and I won't clash no more" 1993 confrontation with Fatman and Coxsone ( I posted a clip somewhere above in this thread edit: and I've appended it to this post for my own convenience )
creole - jah creation
certified shaka killer, there's video proof on the previous page for what it's worth ( and immediately below, I stuck the footage of the clash at the bottom of this post for my own convenience ) , regardless of "technical hitch"
just so I don't have to search here's the moment where Shaka drops Creole Jah Creation and despite "technical 'itch" the crowd just goes wild.... and I've watched the full footage of this dance so I can guarantee that this is the liveliest the crowd gets, which means Shaka is the Warrior, King of the Zulu Nation, ... etc.,
