| Abstract | In recent times reggae music has swept the globe in popularity and musical influence, from America and England to Japan, gracing presidential inaugural celebrations as well as night clubs. Within this book over fifty contemporary reggae artists and producers, ranging from Cultural Roots to Dancehall, present their views on the state of reggae music today, its developments since the death of Bob Marley over a decade ago, and the directions in which the music is evolving. Their voices interact with more than 150 photographs of reggae artists and island life to reveal the thriving rhythm and pulse of Jamaican music and culture in the '90s. |
