Botha Warning
Another big Shaka tune from the late 1980s - Bionic Singers anti-apartheid shot Botha Warning - coming out of the same Jamaazima vaults as Hugh Maddos Pop Style LP that we reissued late last year under the kind courtesy of the imprints Nami Harmon. The late Bionic Singer a.k.a Osbert Maddo, or more commonly Madoo, was brought up in East Kingston and as a child attended the legendary Alpha Boys School. He began singing together with his brother UU Madoo (aka Hugh Maddo) and soon became a regular on the Stereophonic soundsystem during the late 1970s. Recording mainly with Joe Gibbs & Errol Thompson and for Winston Rileys famed Techniques stable through the early 80s, he then moved to the US in 1983. Ceasing to record for a period, he returned towards the end of the decade under the Bionic Singer alias on the Bronx-based Jamaazima label, recording this searing indictment of South Africas apartheid government under P.W. Botha following his stroke in 1989.credits
