Ghost Music...



The Congos - Congoman

The Congos - Fisherman

"Years ago one of my cousins, who would have been about 7 or so at the time, asked me what I was listening to on my personal stereo.
I gave her the headphones and let her have a blast of "Heart Of The Congos" by The Congos.
She sat in stunned silence for about 10 minutes and then gently handed the 'phones back and whispered, "It...it sounds like... ghosts"....
I think Lee Perry would love that description."
