The Revolutionaries - Kunta Kinte

[@naturalmystic67]

My thanks to Steve McQueen, through him, we have Kunta Kinte playing through on prime time BBC 1. Amazing. Who could've imagined that happening forty years ago? Beautiful film, beautiful gift.

[@Ezzerguru]

I remember we used to lose it to this tune back in the day not dissimilar to the scenes in Small Axe but if I’m honest no one was rolling around on the floor. The Mad Professor remix was huge too. Yeah who would have thought it 40 years ago.

[@mikeydilli]

I was at Club Noreik, when Jah Shaka played this brand new against Coxsone & Fatman ! The club was rammed & went into a frenzy. He played 3 or 4 cuts of it. He also dropped Human Cargo - Carry Us Beyond & Johnny Clarke - Jah Jah Give Us The Power ! WHAT A MEMORABLE HISTORY DANCE !! ❤️🔥

[@stevessssteve]

Just heard this brilliant track on Steve McQueen's small axe !

[@martinohara7005]

Likewise! Superb

[@badgerxxxx]

Watched it earlier - superb. Just watched this whole scene again on catch-up. Not heard this for forty years.

[@martinohara7005]

Loved how McQueen filmed the party scenes with the full songs in real time. Like a love letter to that time ❤️

[@stevessssteve]

@@martinohara7005 you have described it so well, I've never seen any film or tv drama do this. musicals maybe but then its not as intimate or personal as this was

[@badgerxxxx]

There is a great read in the December Sight and Sound with Steve McQueen being interviewed by David Olusoga. He based the main character on his aunt.

[@don3.lf3]

Shaka sound was the 1st one I heard this tune back in the 80s. New Cross one big hall. Bass 🔊 heavyweight. Big tune 2 this very day.

[@xken02]

The most used Jungle sample ever. Sounds great in both roots dub and jungle. Thank you Revolutionaries for creaating this amazing tune.

[@ElNumeroUno777]

The creoles beware of your enemies is the original.

[@duanerackham9567]

I knew I heard this sampled in a jungle track. I didn't know the original. Almost went buck wild my self 😊

[@awakewarriors119]

I asked Google what is name of that song.Yeah it's coming back to me now, how absolutely fascinating the Jamaican men were when all out "dancing like nobodies watching ". I became the " American Woman". Instead of just Afro American me in my head. I was a foreigner at home. This song made me young again. So glad I watched this.

[@breakfreak3181]

An absolute classic and hugely influential on breakbeat / bass music from early rave to hardcore to Jungle / DnB to Dubstep (and I've been there for all of them!) It's been sampled / interpreted for the past 25 (or more) years of UK dance music culture! Big tune!

[@DirtyJuvenile]

*interpolated

[@bspierce81]

One of the best dub track I've heard.

[@charleystevens9981]

I just heard this on 'Lovers Rock' too. Fabulous! What were they chanting though?

[@caronmartin3651]

They were chanting Mercury Sound. The name of their sound.

[@Cookie_BK]

Just heard this on small axe fell in love!!

[@igthered]

Back in 1981/2 had 3/4 versions of this on cassette from a mate of mine, Shaka dubplates.

[@jktoldojktoldo847]

Watches small axe, Google's soundtrack, gets here 😂 love this sound

[@wankers111]

Small axe brought me here

[@victoriastone2975]

Me too... great, thanks Small Axe!!

[@jimillsung]

that melody will be in my mind forever

[@micek848]

Takvih PRAVIH LJUDI-MALO JE NA SVIJETU!!SLAVA MU!

[@icebox9093]

Watching Small Axe, Steve McQueen reminded me of my student days back in late 70's in Brixton London!

[@mrspeakerska]

Mr Speaker adore et partagé sur notre playlist Redge

[@brian61spurs]

Jah Shaka have about 10 versions of this highly praised tune, Selah

[@protium1960]

Killa tune!

[@djtommo]

This melody springs banging tunes. The Prodigy used it in their track Jericho in 1992, massive rave tune! Then Rusko made the first, and still the best dubstep track I ever heard, Jahova.

[@questionsmyfuture23]

I can't seem to stop dancing

[@gwenvernon]

What a fantastic music I first heard this music in the movie burning an illusion bless

[@BigOG7]

it was the Congo Natty one I was after, cheers. I knew about jericho - tune. There's quite a lot of tunes that use this sample isn't there?

[@buckbumble]

i love dubstep and dub, i try to include both in my sets. You only get a limited experience with dub if your blasting at home. Put it through some bass cabs and your head will spin

[@P1987-t5i]

Dubstep lol you kids

[@Live2slay]

Hilarious actually, everytime we think there is something new to listen to it seems the style was always there. Just burried and forgotten by many. 5/5

[@gregrusedski4798]

Did u post this comment 10 years ago mate, certainly aged well

[@pandabear2776]

Agreed Benjamin Price. First heard this song when I was around 10 years pls and I still love it

[@solidreso]

dis tune ryt er iz de best toon u will eva hear.. u dun kno bredrin jah bless

[@mercerfamilyadventures4613]

4 20 years ive produced dnb, jungle, dubstep, funk, electro, soul.. but i am on a mission in recent years to perfect the orginal dub sound. sample it, make big bass noises twisted bigness.. its doesnt compare to the rawness of 60/70s dub. luv it!

[@daddirich1]

BOSS....yes move it anh let it go.....Easssssssy nuh man!!!!!!!!!!

[@kuntakinte6871]

Nothing more to say just thank you for uploading

[@remkometkrullen]

thanks for uploading! Awesome track!

[@appleyardgardenwoodencraft8736]

Jah shaka rest in peace ❤💛💚🖤

[@ianwedderburn5497]

just got it for £10 as a 7" from Pressure Sounds. Well worth the purchase!

[@tunniworld]

Nice 1! Thanks for the tip. Just bagged one myself. Watch dem fly off da shelf now! ;)

[@suling3347]

Billy Joe Morgan Stop Them

[@buckbumble]

if you like rootsy dubstep check out the dubstep re-rub of 'we nah run' and 'wa do dem' by Tes. sticks close to roots whilst having that driving dubstep rhythm. no dirty basslines either.

[@geekos76]

comin' up 4 this sound !!!! Many thanks for the feelings ;)

[@andchat6241]

Great late 70s rhythm from Maxfield.... Congo Natty also sampled the 'Far East melody part'....

[@DjRickeyRicardo]

BUMBO BLOOD when dis yah dub drop ita killa!

[@oskar_oskarewicz]

i guess nobody tried to beat or copy anything mates! creative sampling and the tributes to the cllasics!!! that's all :)! peace

[@CanonburyLondonantiques]

DJ, run da tune!

[@StonyMalonie1]

Rebel MC had a play with it too, if you look for Junglist (although it's all remixes) and Rebel MC - Kunte Kinte. Also Ganja White Night - Peace by Fear includes the melody, for the dubsteppers.

[@DirtyJuvenile]

DJ Kunta Kinte

[@12121yoyoyo12121]

anthony johnson - life is not easy. is the only one i can think of mate

[@ProjectPsychosis]

Prodigy used this sample on Jericho (Experience album)

[@jeffreyprosser9075]

Technically they reprogrammed it, didn't sample it. No big deal.

[@MarinusMakesStuff]

Also: Rebel MC - Jahovia

[@BasedKev]

came here after watching STALLION. such a good song!

[@studuke1]

Yes man proper Phebes ting tuff!!!

[@Felixxe1]

Best dub track ever

[@halil65]

ina word. wiiiiikiiiiiid!

[@shapese13]

the intro was used in a tune called Dubplate by Ray Keith which was later given a tuff remix in the very late 90's/early 00's

[@Rilo87]

increible afrorules ;) bless

[@jmeckle1]

Congo Natty the track is also called Kunte Kinte, but they sample the 1991 Mad Professor version.

CrystalFissure Sounds alot like Saru-mon's castle from Ape Escape 3 :D first thing i noticed!

[@roomaparmar1608]

Yaaaassss

[@dima.jiharev]

Some nice music. I see Prodigy were strongly influenced by reggae

[@MrGoodGravy]

Yes Yes Yes! I sway in my office chair, I sway on the train. Killer Track. Thank You much

[@Leojoris]

@AlbertX78 you're right about Jericho but Howlett has sampled the bongo part (01:15) for Skylined.

[@dadubmaster]

Phebes Club - Jah Shaka Still ringing in me ears

[@pboogie1023]

Thank you. I really like this one.

[@stevethegiraffe]

Haha, well I'm glad someone agreed with me on this one!!! I swear - people get so protective about Dubstep these days... but it just bores me shitless. You don't need electronic 'whomp'-ness, you need some soul and meaning... Seriously though - if I was granted 3 wishes the 1st would be to remove dubstep from existence. In my opinion it's killing the free party movement with it's ridiculous slowness and general rudeness... WHAT HAPPENED TO THE VIBES EH??? ... rant over... for now at least!

[@locsman]

Now this is what shaka was all about.BAD RAS TUNE

[@smattachew]

does side b have a little bit different version? nice. this song's been great since day one, still one of my favorites!!!

[@ShimmeringDuck]

Any one out there similar to the Revolutionaries? Looking for more golden dub :)

[@zh820]

Same here 100% - tune

[@7paris1]

[@gubilasco9022]

Serious ting!.

[@colonelofcork]

Try King Tubby meets the Upsetter at the grass roots of dub and the bass on some tracks will blow you away.

[@alltoafrica]

UUUUHHHHH!!! YEAH!!!

[@Navstep]

So thissssss is where Rusko got his hook from. I LIKE THIS BETTER.

[@mohamed-kd9wm]

[@serj127]

Doctor P Broth Me Here

[@tikatikatoc776]

if you want golden dub the two obvious ones are tubby and scientist. There's some fantastic dub around, start with those two and lose yourself in it haha

[@alienlivingform]

So as Mad Professor :)

[@bushmanwest5109]

dubtastic

[@buckbumble]

I get what your saying. Dubstep has a tendancy to go wrong more often.....VERY wrong. But after a heavy night, dub is the way to come down. I could easily chillax to 'kunte kinte' or some tubby after a heavy nights skanking. give dubstep a chance mate, it might grow on you. It's not all rusko and bassline. :) Peace

[@ecureuildesalm]

sly and robie ... again .. lol the best of bass batterie ....

[@ReegyDee]
