Congos Biography
Cedric Myton's unique falsetto in combination with the distinctive tenor of Roydel Johnson is "the heart of the Congos." Though the two made only one album together, it is among the greatest in reggae history. Gorgeous songs and inspired performances were magically layered by the hyper-inventive production skills of Lee Perry, and the result was the most completely successful of all the many great albums produced by the legendary "Scratch" at his Black Ark Studio. Myton went on to record with others as the Congos, and Johnson as Congo Ashanti Roy--notably with the U.K.-based On-U Sound collective.
