The Congos are a Jamaican roots reggae vocal group founded in the 1970s by Cedric Myton and Roydel Johnson. Their debut album Heart of the Congos (1977), produced by Lee "Scratch" Perry at his Black Ark Studio, is widely regarded as one of the greatest reggae records ever made. Myton's distinctive falsetto, paired with Johnson's tenor and later Watty Burnett's baritone, gave the group a sound that has influenced generations of reggae artists. They continue to tour Europe and release new music.
VP Records released a remastered reissue of the single 'Reggae Revival' on October 31, 2025, from the album Revival (1997).
Cedric Myton collaborated in September 2025 with Rippah Shreddahs and Earl Chinna Smith on the single 'Education Heals Nation Dub'.
The Congos performed in July 2025 at the Sun Splash Reggae Festival in The Hague, together with Morgan Heritage and Inner Circle.
Cedric Myton released the single 'No Ordinary Day' in November 2024 together with Johnny Dread and Addis Pablo.
The Congos performed in June 2024 at Patronaat in Haarlem as part of a joint European tour with The Gladiators.
