Thank you Bart Miltenberger! Wow it is the same melody -- I hear the exact same route you describe! Thanks for sharing and also the kind words! And apologies for missing this earlier (was on vacation). Thank you!
Thanks for this! My mind was completely blown at around the 2/2:15 minute mark of "Grounation" from 1970. It's the same song/melody as "Zion I," the opening track on Cymande's first album from 1972. I've been a huge fan of that album for over twenty years now (Cymande is on tour btw and coming to Ardmore Music Hall on 9/22), so hearing this melody in this Grounation just shook me. It's like a cross-pollination of a cross-pollination - transatlantic Nyabinghi to Jamaica and then transatlantic Nyabinghi to London.
I'm a big fan of EchoLocator. I have a need to hear and learn about new music all the time and blog is such a fun education and inspiration for deeper dives. Thank you!
