Tribesman

Tribesman are a pioneering roots reggae band from London, active since the late 1970s. Emerging from the vibrant UK reggae scene, they are best known for their 1979 single "The Tribe / Finsbury Park," a powerful anthem that encapsulates the struggles and resilience of the African diaspora. The track's poignant lyrics and Maria Folkes' distinctive vocals have cemented its status as a classic in the genre. In 2012, Reggae Archive Records reissued "The Tribe" alongside "Finsbury Park" as a limited edition 12" vinyl, introducing the band's music to a new generation of listeners. The reissue has since become a sought-after collector's item.
