Linton Kwesi Johnson - The Great Insurrection (acapella) - Making History (live)

Live in Paris. Two songs chronicling the events of the spring and summer months of 1981 when police oppression resulted in social unrest in over fifty English towns (Keith Blakelock was brutally hacked in to pieces in an orgy of violent, frenzied, vengeful bloodletting in '85, not '81, but highlights the mood of that decade). This was to lead to further militarisation of the police force, as clearly intended. Lyrics (phonetically, in Jamaican Creole/west Indian patois) - Di Great Insohreckshan It woz in April nineteen eighty-wan doun inna di ghetto af Brixtan Dat di babylan dem cause such a frickshan an it bring about a great insohreckshan An it spread all ovah di naeshan It woz a truly an histarical okayjan It woz event af di year an I wish I ad been dere wen wi run riot all ovah Brixtan Wen wi mash-up plenty police van wen wi mash-up di wicked wan plan Wen wi mash-up di Swamp Eighty-wan Fi wha?
