Soul Masooka. The first international african hit, classic groove of summer ’73 gets instant jamaican treatments by ex-Melodians Brent Dowe backed by The Gaytones. Years before Manu Dibango came to Kingston for a Sly & Robby session, a tribute had been paid to the “negropolitan”. From coast to coast! From Africa to Jamaica! This is Earth Sound!
