THE CONGOS Back In The Black Ark (2010 UK 14-track CD album - In 1977, The Congos recorded in Lee Perry's Black Ark studios, the album 'The Heart Of The Congos', widely regarded as one of the most consumate and important reggae records ever made. Having reformed in 2006 after a hiatus of over 20 years, time had come to go back into the studio in Jamaica and put a new chapter in the history of reggae. Although the Black Ark studios burned to the ground [by Lee Perry himself he claims],the title 'Back In The Black Ark' refers to the reunion of The Congos [Cedric Myton, Ashanti Roy and Watty Burnett] with Lee Perry for this brand new album. The Congos' sublime falsetto / tenor / baritone harmonies combine with some of the most experienced and accomplished reggae musicians of all time [Boris Gardner, Winston Jones, Dwight Pickney, Robbie Lyn, Horsemouth Wallace and others] all with Lee Perry's hand at the controls. 'Back In The Black Ark' is an album that proves that The Congos are still masters of Roots Reggae!)
