Bongo Nyah Riddim – Matador, Joe Frasier

Rooted in 1969, Bongo Nyah brings together the classic Matador and Joe Frasier connection, with Lloyd Daley and Lloyd Campbell behind the production and later versions carrying the riddim into the 2000s. Little Roy’s original Bongo Nyah and Count Ossie and Lloyd’s All Stars’ I Dread Version anchor the early side of the lineup, while later cuts from Flourgon, Glen Washington, Lloyd Brown, Tanya Stephens and Wayne Wade show how widely the pattern travelled. The release is tied to one of Lloyd Daley’s best-known productions, and Little Roy’s Bongo Nyah was a major early Rastafari anthem in Jamaican music.
