“Sorry fi Maga dog him go turn round bite you”
Peter Tosh was one of the original Wailers made up of Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer. He left the group in 1976 to release his debut solo album “Legalize it” after which he went on to release 6 more albums. Sadly he was murdered in his home in 1987 in an attempted robbery leaving Bunny Wailer the only original band member still alive today. Mama Africa (1983), one of the most successful of his albums features this true classic Maga Dog. I've put three different versions of the song in this video and I’ve just found a sweeet Ska Version by the Wailers recorded in the 60s! Other blissful songs on Mama Africa include ‘Glasshouse’ and ‘Stop That Train’ and another favourite Peter Tosh song is 'Brand New Second Hand' Check em out!
P.S - A Maga dog is Jamaican Patois for a skinny, poor street dog. - JFTD
