Tosh’s daughter Niambe comments “Revisiting Peter Tosh’s music on vinyl is a celebration of his revolutionary voice and timeless impact. As we release these records, we invite fans to connect once more with the spirit of a true pioneer.”
Peter Tosh was a pioneering Jamaican reggae musician and founding member of The Wailers, alongside Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer. Known for his powerful voice and rebellious spirit, Tosh was a passionate advocate for social justice, Rastafari and the legalisation of marijuana.
His solo career produced iconic songs such as Johnny B Goode and Wanted Dread & Alive which highlighted his commitment to fighting oppression and inequality. Tosh’s fearlessness in his activism is still living through his musical legacy.
Tosh’s fourth solo album, Mama Africa, released in 1983, is a celebration of African heritage and a call for unity and liberation. This album features a mix of upbeat tracks and heartfelt tributes to the African continent. The title track, Mama Africa, is a poignant ode to the motherland, while songs like Glass House and Not Gonna Give It Up convey messages of resilience and determination. Mama Africa highlights Peter Tosh’s ability to blend social consciousness with melodic reggae rhythms, reaffirming his role as a powerful voice for the African diaspora and global justice.
