Overview
Jamaican music, from a Caribbean island of just 3 mil. people, has had a huge effect on the rest of the world. Spearheaded by the popularity of reggae & the figurehead of Bob Marley, its reverberating rhythms have found a resonance with a diverse international audience. This book charts the course of this extraordinary cultural revolution, from the emergence in the 1950s of the fiercely competitive sound systems, through ska, the birth of reggae, dub, roots reggae & the impact of Bob Marley to recent developments, including dancehall, ragga & jungle. A potent cocktail of drama, turbulence, pride & protest. Unpub. transcripts of interviews with key figures introduce the authentic voice of reggae history to the book. 400 striking images.
