The Congos

Jamaican vocal reggae band formed in the second half of the 1970s by Cedric Myton (previously in The Tartans) and Congo Ashanti Roy (Roydel Johnson). The group started recording at the Black Ark Studios for Lee Perry, who added Watty Burnett to the lineup to handle the deeper chords. The group split in the early 1980's but reformed in the mid-1990's.
