Radio Africa by Latin Quarter.
For those who were deep in reggae in the 80's, you may have come across this powerful lyrical song. For the young generation, please sample it. The sound is full, since it was recorded live in a studio (not the digital stuff of today's musicians).
I remember watching the video with dingi (RIP) 23 years ago, and all he said was "Muntu, Muntu", refereeing to the only diga on the band! But, surprisingly, those lyrics came from a "white guy"!!

I'm hearing only bad news (From Radio Africa)
I'm hearing only sad news (From Radio Africa)
They've still got trouble with a monster in the South
Heads buried deep in that lion's mouth
Like a jaw snapped shut, it keeps them apart
If that jaw got broke it would be a start
I'm hearing only bad news (From Radio Africa)
I'm hearing only sad news (From Radio Africa)
The West still complains about the foreign aid
They'd do better to change the terms of the trade
There's more tanks than food in the Ogaden
It looks like Moscow got it wrong again
I'm hearing only bad news (From Radio Africa)
I'm hearing only sad news (From Radio Africa)
I'm hearing only bad news (From Radio Africa)
I'm hearing only sad news
Mozambique and Mugabe
Still got Frelimo, I hear them say
But "Exchange" means, "Recession" means
It all means "Harder to take"
Tanzania should be moving up a gear
Instead they've got to step on the brake
(I'm hearing only bad news)
Can't stop a movement that's come this far
(I'm hearing only bad news)
But "Lending" means and "Interest" means it's harder to fight
(I'm hearing only bad news)
Independence has a hidden expense
(I'm hearing only bad news)
When the hands on the purse strings are white
I'm hearing only bad news (From Radio Africa)
