''Mama Africa'' is a studio album by the Jamaican musician Peter Tosh, released in 1983. It peaked at number 59 on the ''Billboard'' 200, becoming Tosh's highest-charting album in the U.S. Tosh supported the album with a North American tour. A video was shot for " Johnny B. Goode". Critical reception ''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." ''The Globe and Mail'' determined that "''Mama Africa'' has more snap rhythmically than anything he's done since ''Bush Doctor''."
