Lancelot Layne - Umbawa is a track featured on Kaiso Power: Sound Revolution in Trinidad 1970 - 1980! Lancelot Layne was a leading voice in the movement for change, active in marches and community events across Trinidad. As protests peaked in 1970, his song Blow’ Way became an unexpected anthem for a society confronting itself. Layne continued pushing radio stations to make space for a new sound rooted in Trinidad’s national language, using music to educate and empower. A key voice in the fight for an Emancipation holiday, he also scored the first reenactment of the Canboulay Riots in 1984, a year before Trinidad’s first official Emancipation Day. As told in this interview with the late Lutalo Masimba, known in the music world as Brother Resistance, Lancelot Layne played a central role in influencing the sound that became known as rapso.
