Matsumbi ORIG OZ LP Sevens Seals EX ’78 Harvest SHSP4090 Roots Reggae
Original OZ LP released in 1978 on Harvest Records. Cat: SHSP4090.
Nowadays largely remembered for being home to Dennis Bovell's first musical adventures, Matumbi should nevertheless be considered in their own right as a leading voice in the U.K.’s 70s reggae scene. Formed in south London in 1972 by Tex Dixon (vocals), the latter assembled a nucleus that comprised Euton Jones (drums), Errol Pottinger (guitar), Eaton "Jah" Blake (bass), Bevin Fagan and Nicholas Bailey (vocals), and Bovell (guitar). They took their name from the African word for "rebirth," and in the customary manner of early U.K. reggae bands, first found employment backing visiting Jamaican musicians.
