The Congos, Cedric Myton Roy Johnson - Heart Of The Congos
Review by Rozalynne James
Heart of the Congos by Congos, Cedric Myton Roy Johnson is a reggae masterpiece that showcases the talents of some of the genre's most skilled musicians. The album features a mix of upbeat and mellow tracks, with each song telling a unique story that is sure to captivate listeners.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Fisherman," a lively tune that highlights the group's impressive vocal harmonies and catchy melodies. Another standout is "La La Bam-Bam," a slower-paced song that showcases the group's ability to create soulful, emotional music.

And they cry every day, ya
All they do, they just pray
And they sigh more and more
Every day my people going to the church
Yet the living seems worser than worse
They talk about Marcus Garvey prophecy
Yet they don't know their own history
All they do, they just say
The wrong thing all over
All they do, they just think
The wrong thing all over
Talk about the troubles, brother bear
With my brethren we all will share
Equality and justice stands for all
Who know that Satan your kingdom must fall
Fire, lightning, thunder a go burn you, Babel
Don't matter where you hide
You can't hide, from the wrong that you have done
You a go back up pan yourself
Every day my people going to the church
Yet the living seems worser than worse
They talk about Marcus Garvey prophecy
Yet they don't know their own history
All they do, they just say
The wrong thing all over
All they do, they just say
The wrong thing all over
They talk about Marcus Garvey prophecy
Yet they don't know their own history
Oh yeah, na na na na
You can't hide from the wrong..
Why wouldn't they just pray? And they sigh more and more oh
Everyday my people going are going to the church
Yet the living seems worser than worse
They talk about "Marcus Garvey's Prophecy"
Yet they don't know their own history
Why wouldn't they just say the wrong thing all over?
Why wouldn't they just say the wrong thing all over?
Everyday my people go into the church,
Yet the living seems worser than worse.
They talk about Marcus Garvey prophecy,
Yet they don’t know their own history.
All they do, they just say,
The wrong thing all over
All they do, they just think,
The wrong thing all over
Talk about the troubles, brother bear,
With my brethren we all will share.
Equality and justice stands for all
Who know that Satan your queendom must fall
Fire, lightning, thunder a go burn you, Babel,
Don’t matter where you hide.
