- Official Exclusive Live Jah Shaka Sound System vs Quaker City Sound System 1979
Jah Shaka started out on the Freddie Cloudburst Sound System as an operator, before setting up his own sound system. By the late 1970s Shaka"s system had rapidly gained a large and loyal following due to the combination of spiritual content, high-energy rhythms, massive sonority, and his dynamic personal style. That following notably included many of the pioneers of post-punk such as Public Image Limited and The Slits.
In 1980 Shaka played himself in the film Babylon (directed by Franco Rosso, although he directed the scene he appeared in), operating his Sound System in a soundclash at the climax of the story.
Shaka stayed true to his spiritual and distinct musical style during the 1980s when many other Sound Systems had started to follow the Jamaican trend towards playing less orthodox styles tending towards slack dancehall music In 1989 Shaka visited Jamaica and worked with many musicians there, including King Tubby.
On 23 September 2000 he suffered numerous injuries during a house fire. In 2002 Jah Shaka appeared before a large crowd in New York City"s Central Park.
Live footage of Shaka is featured in the documentary All Tomorrow"s Parties based on the musical festival, which was released in 2009.
The Jah Shaka Sound System continues to appear regularly in London, with occasional tours of the United States, Europe and Japan. On his own record label he has released music from Jamaican artists such as Max Romeo, Johnny Clarke, Bim Sherman and Prince Alla as well as United Kingdom groups such as Aswad and Dread & Fred. He has released a number of dub albums, often under the Commandments of Dub banner.
Shaka"s uncompromising "Warrior Style" has inspired a host of new United Kingdom reggae artists and Sound Systems such as Eastern Sher, The Disciples, Iration Steppas, Jah Warrior, Channel One Sound System, Conscious Sounds, The Rootsman and Aba Shanti-I. Non-reggae artists such as Basement Jaxx have cited Jah Shaka as being their best night out ever.
Jah Shaka events are renowned for attracting a wide audience from all backgrounds, races and ages. His dances attract numbers previously thought unthinkable for this genre of music
His followers are known to be vocally ardent and have developed dance steps that resemble African war dances. Shaka has also established the Jah Shaka Foundation to carry out assistance with projects in Ghana, where the foundation has bought 7 acres (28,000 m2) of land in Agri, 30 miles outside of Accra.
The lieutenant has also managed to distribute medical supplies, wheelchairs, library books, carpentry tools, drawing materials and records to clinics, schools and radio stations in the Accra area establishing important links with the local communities.
Shaka himself was actually a youth worker years ago, and has regularly been quoted encouraging youths to study geography and history so they know "what"s happened, where it"s happening and who"s doing it".

This sounds like a session i went to at the Roxy Theatre Harlesden in late 70's which was the first time i heard Shaka the best i've been to
Cannot help it but the 10 minute 12” dubwise “Jahovia” from 1979 from the Twinkle Brothers which was dubbed by Shaka is the best stepping dub he ever made. And even on his live soundsystem performances he created again and again new versions on it. This man is magical
Long time sound system when we used to use valve amplifiers original
Can't beat valve amp.

Jah Rastafari to each and everyone, Prayers are from the Book of common prayer day 2 Hallelujah Amen. Greetings on this the anniversary of Haille Sallesiie's Enthronement in the Church of Ethiopia.
This 1979 Shaka Quaker reminds me of a clash in Phebes which took place and Shaka won late in the morning around 3- 4 am. I hope it's the same one.
Guidance.
