Africa Must Be Free Riddim – Unknown Label

Built around Augustus Pablo’s 1981 production for an unknown label, Africa Must Be Free Riddim is a short three-track set that links Pablo’s own Africa (1983) and Park Lane Special with Hugh Mundell’s Africa Must Be Free 1983. The mix leans firmly into roots, with Pablo’s melodica-led approach setting the tone and Mundell’s cut tying the riddim back to the classic Africa Must Be Free By 1983 era. It’s a compact release, but the artist pairing makes it feel closely connected to one of Pablo’s key roots projects, with Mundell and Pablo again sharing the kind of spiritual, heavyweight sound that defined that period.
