African Queen Riddim – Tamoki Wambesi

African Queen Riddim, issued in 1984 on Roy Cousins’ Tamoki Wambesi imprint, pairs Prince Far I’s African Queen with a dub version that keeps the set lean and roots-heavy. The release sits comfortably in Cousins’ early-’80s catalogue, and Far I’s cut gives it a deep, militant edge that matches the era of his final recordings. With just the vocal and version, it has a stripped-back feel that lets the rhythm and mix do the talking.
