About The Congos

The Congos are a reggae vocal group from Jamaica, formed in the mid-1970s by Cedric Myton and Roydel Johnson. They gained international recognition with their classic album 'Heart of the Congos,' produced by Lee 'Scratch' Perry. The group's harmonious vocals and roots reggae sound have made them influential figures in the genre.

The Congos' lyrics often explore themes of African repatriation, inner spiritual awakening, and cultural historical heritage. Their songs address issues like unjust blame and social injustice, reflecting the struggles and aspirations of the African diaspora. Recent works continue to emphasize these themes, maintaining their commitment to raising awareness and promoting unity.
