Who was the first to sing "Buffalo Soldier"? Bob Marley or Giddes Chalamanda?
In this video, I'll break down the lyrics of both songs and show you how they match up, phrase by phrase. I'll also compare the melodies and chord progressions in order to help you determine who the true author of this song is.
A man called Giddes Chalamanda from Malawi claimed that he composed the song Buffalo Soldier. He recorded his version in 1974, four years before Bob Marley's recording of it. There are similarities between their songs: both have different lyrics and rhythms but share some resemblance to one another. So, who was the first to sing the song?
