VARIOUS ARTIST - ROOTS REGGAE ESSENTIALS : CD
Various: Roots Reggae Essentials This is tough music. It’s the sound of the ghetto. Of sufferation. Of reality. Rebel music. Reggae music of the mid- to late-’70s increasingly – noticeably – became socially, politically and religiously conscious. Artists were singing of their own experiences, history, upbringing and neighborhoods. Of their roots and culture. It’d be misleading to not recognize that there were records issued both prior to and after this period that address similar topics. However it was the amalgam of subject matter, the uncompromising rhythms and the Jamaican social climate, plus the inroads reggae was making into global popular music that led many – even today – to call this period from 1973 to 1980 reggae’s Golden Era.
