Peter Tosh, released in 1983.[1][2] It peaked at number 59 on the

Johnny B. Goode".[5]
The New York Times wrote: "Like most of Mr. Tosh's albums, Mama Africa is uneven—Mr. Tosh's raw baritone can be inexpressive—but in 'Glasshouse' and a few other songs Mr. Tosh shows both vehemence and a preacher's timing."[7]The Globe and Mail determined that "Mama Africa has more snap rhythmically than anything he's done since Bush Doctor."[8]
