To celebrate Jamaica’s
50 Years of Independance
1962-2012
We have put together a set of releases that cover the
musical styles that reggae mutated into through it’s
history, SKA, ROCKSTEADY, ROOTS REGGAE,
DUB, DJ STYLE & DANCEHALL....
So Listen Up! and enjoy!
Welcome to the ROOTS REGGAE SOUND. A period in Reggaes history that
followed the two year supremacy of Rocksteady, that began to tail off around
the end of 1968. The Reggae sound many say did not come initially from the
chop of the guitar but from the stabs from the Keyboard/Organ that produced
that jeggae/jerking feel. The Roots element can be heard in the heartfelt lyrics
and the stories told in the songs. So sit back and enjoy some Roots Reggae
straight from the heart of Jamaica…..
