Columbus produced by Aston Barrett, Winston Rodney, Ruff Cutt, Jazzwad, Beres Hammond for Burning Spear, Cave, Harmony House in 1980
Columbus Riddim brings together the Burning Spear classic and later-cut versions from Cave and Harmony House, with the post pointing to 1980 and production credits tied to Aston Barrett, Winston Rodney, Ruff Cutt, Jazzwad, and Beres Hammond. Burning Spear’s Columbus anchors the set, and the lineup also pulls in Al Campbell, Beres Hammond, Don Campbell, Freddie McGregor, Gregory Isaacs, Horace Andy, and Jahmali on 2002 cuts, linking roots-era foundation to a later reggae rework. The mood is meditative but firm, with the title tune’s historical edge carrying the project and the surrounding voices turning it into a broad singers’ showcase.
