Just another “come to Jah” meeting with the mighty Congos. See as Ashanti Roy and Cedric Myton sing an acoustic nyabinghi version of the greatest story ever told “Open Up The Gate.”
Big Up to Fred for sharing this!
Also at the bottom, rare footage of Cedric Myton recording “Food For The Rainy Day.“
Open up the gates of Zion.
Africa, we want, to go..
Africa, we want, to go..
Repatriation is, at hand,
I and I know where the black man stands..
I and I know where the black man stands..
To the west coast of Africa,
East, north and south.
Repatriation is, a must of Ion.
Repatriation is, a must.
Jah said unto the south ‘give up!’ (give up!)
To the west ‘keep not back!’ (not back!)
Send my sons from afar,
And my daughters from the end of the world.
Send my sons from afar,
And my daughters from the end of the world..
Hallelujah!
Please, send the Father,
The Almighty One, of Creation, in man,
Living inna man yah,
The Mighty Redeemer,
The Word, Sound and Iwa,
Living inna man yah.
Ooh Hallelujah!
Listen to Father,
Almighty Bongo Ashanti I and I,
Living inna I and I,
Mighty, Mighty Redeemer of Creation.. (ah-yeah)
To the west coast of Africa,
East, north and south.
Repatriation is, a must of Ion.

And my daughters from the end of the world..
