GETchan | What's Your Contribution? (Grenadian Revolutionary Song) @GETchan | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 21 hours ago
A song from the Grenada Revolution urging people both inside and out of the country to contribute to the revolution and not simply sit idly by. This group only seems to have released one record from what I could find, the special thanks included on the sleeve seeming to indicate this record itself almost never came into being. In something of a sardonic twist of fate, a certain "Comrade Bernard Coard" is thanked on the back of the record for his "contribution" to it. Bernard Coard would carry out a coup the year after this record's release which would lead to the collapse of the People's Revolutionary Government and the end of the Grenada Revolution.
Performer: Uhuru Foundation
Year Recorded: 1982
Composer/Lyricist: Duka Dewsbury
Source: Vinyl record "Contribution" DC 867
