Qua She Riddim – Thompson Sound

Qua She produced by Linval Thompson for Thompson Sound in 1981

Produced by Linval Thompson for Thompson Sound in 1981, Qua She pulls together a small but memorable lineup with Freddie McKay’s Come Along, Johnny Osbourne’s Qua She, and Johnny Ringo’s Qua She Taking Over, plus a dub cut that gives the rhythm extra depth. The project sits right in Thompson’s early-’80s run, when his productions leaned into lean bass pressure, sharp drum patterns, and toasting-friendly versions that could work both on the dance and in dub. With Osbourne and Ringo carrying the title rhythm in their own way, this one has that distinctive Thompson Sound feel: rootsy, direct, and built for the sound system.
