Africa Riddim – Studio One comes from Coxsone Dodd’s Studio One camp and is dated 1967, built around just two Gaylads cuts, Africa (We Want To Go) and Sounds Of Africa. The release has a tight, vocal-led feel rather than a sprawling various-artists format, with The Gaylads carrying both sides and giving the riddim a strong harmony-group character. Studio One’s control of the session keeps it lean and direct, and the Africa theme is pushed clearly through both titles. Coxsone Dodd’s work at Studio One helped define the label’s early reggae catalogue, and this short set sits comfortably in that classic run.
