Recorded in 1976 for Black Art, Voodooism brings together Lee Graham’s Voodooism and the Upsetters’ Dubism, a tight little snapshot of Lee Scratch Perry’s Black Ark-era sound. The pairing leans into that eerie, ceremonial feel Perry was known for, with the vocal cut and its dub counterpart moving through the kind of smoky, off-kilter atmosphere that made his productions so distinctive. It’s a brief set, but an important one, and it captures Perry working at full invention with Leo Graham and the Upsetters in the middle of his most celebrated run.
