African People Riddim – Unknown Label

African People produced by Bunny Striker Lee for Unknown Label in 1976

African People Riddim, issued in 1976, comes from Bunny Striker Lee and pairs Johnny Clarke’s African People with a dub cut, Middle East Dub, and King Tubby and Prince Jammy’s African Sounds. It has that classic mid-70s Bunny Lee feel: a strong roots vocal anchored by serious dub versions, with Clarke’s performance giving the riddim its clearest focal point. The mix of a singer cut and two dub treatments makes it a compact snapshot of the studio and sound-system style Lee was pushing at the time, with Tubby and Jammy’s version helping underline the track’s deeper, echo-heavy side.
