"Want fi goh rave"
(LKJ. 1979)

Great song about the hardness of life and how broken youth dealt with it.
LKJ sings it in jamaican patwa but it's easily understandable, or at least guessable.
Enjoy.

La scène ska anglaise des 80's a porté aux nues #PrinceBuster .En France, notre inspiration c'était plutôt #LaurelAitken , ses rythmes chaloupés et ses paroles iconoclastes dans la Jamaïque des années 60.

Perso, je remercie Julien de la Marabunta de me l'avoir fait découvrir.

Ce morceau a inspiré les Specials pour "Stupid marriage" sur leur 1er LP.
