Congo Natty: The Rebel On the Road

Congo Natty at Hootananny Brixton

Congo Natty is an English music producer working in ragga jungle, active since 1990 and linked to Big Dada Recordings. The artist released the album Rebel Music in 1990, and the release Jungle Revolution is cited among their landmark works.
