Podcasts about Roots reggae

Is music actually evolving—or quietly losing its value? In this Reggae Hour conversation, Seth Caro joins us for a deep, unfiltered reasoning session on music, thinking, and the role AI plays in exposing an industry already under pressure. Seth reflects on growing up with hip-hop before discovering reggae, crossing genres without copying culture, and why scenes and slogans often limit creativity. He challenges the fear surrounding artificial intelligence, suggesting that AI may not destroy music—but instead force artists and listeners to confront how little value we've allowed music to hold. The discussion moves through producer mindset, streaming economics, and cross-genre philosophy, touching on moments like Keith Murray's “Jah Rx (Redeye Remix)” as evidence that true crossover comes from shared values, not marketing strategies. This isn't a promo interview.It's a conversation about time, responsibility, and learning how to think for yourself.

This mix brings together a focused selection of reggae recordings from around 1976, a period when roots reggae was at its most confident and clearly defined. The songs reflect the era's balance: strong rhythm sections, thoughtful lyrics, and a deep connection to Rastafarian beliefs, social commentary, and everyday life in Jamaica.

Join Reggae Hour for a powerful 60-minute journey into the life, near-death, and eternal legacy of Bob Marley.On his 81st Earthstrong, this is not a surface-level celebration.We go behind the myth and into the moments that shaped history.

When the drum goes quiet, the world listens. This special Reggae Hour tribute episode honors the life, discipline, and global legacy of Sly Dunbar — one of the most influential rhythm architects in music history. Alongside Robbie Shakespeare, Sly helped shape reggae into a language the world could understand — without ever losing its roots. From Kingston studios to global stages, from analog roots to digital futures, Sly's drumming taught us that rhythm is responsibility. In this one-hour episode, Mr. E and Zionia reason through: Why discipline mattered more than flash in Sly's playing How Sly & Robbie carried reggae across borders without dilution How the torch is now being carried forward by new and international artists — including the Africa–Caribbean connection that keeps reggae alive This is not an interview. This is a reflection. A reasoning. A musical journey guided by the drum.

When the storm hits and Babylon goes cold, where do you find your fire? In this special winter edition of Reggae Hour, we aren't just playing music — we are reasoning on resilience. As snow, power outages, and cold winds sweep across the world outside, Mr. E and Zionya (Daughter of Zion) dig deep into the crates to uncover the sounds that have kept the people warm for generations. From Prince Buster facing the long winter of 1960s England, to the modern spiritual armor of today's Winter Soldiers, this episode traces how reggae has always been more than music. It has been a fireplace for the diaspora — a source of heat, unity, and strength when the physical world turns cold. This is a story of migration, survival, sound systems, and inner fire. A reminder that even when Babylon freezes, the spirit does not.

Roots. Discipline. Testimony. This is not a hype interview.This is testimony. In this powerful episode of Reggae Hour, conscious reggae artist Blaz'em (Christopher Hale) sits down for a rare, unfiltered conversation about a 15-year journey rooted in Rastafari, discipline, and truth. Raised in a Caribbean household and guided by elder Rastaman dem, Blaz'em embraced Rastafari at just 14 years old — not as an image, but as a way of life. In this episode, he speaks openly about mistakes, accountability, spirituality, and why conscious reggae still matters in a world full of noise. You'll hear Blaz'em reflect on:Why reggae is not entertainment, but testimonyThe role of elders in shaping righteous youthThe discipline of the Bobo Shanti orderWalking away from Babylon without selling your soulWhy music can reach hearts when words failAnd why righteousness is non-negotiableAs Blaz'em puts it: “Reggae is not entertainment. It's testimony.” This episode is for the seekers, the rooted, and anyone who still believes music can uplift, correct, and liberate.

Day Three of Reggae Hour Salute opens with a firestarter from Don Dada – Forward off his Forward We Continue EP — setting the tone for a deep, necessary conversation.In this episode, Mr. E and Zionya take a bold stance on one of the world's hardest truths: the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the growing call for justice and peace.This isn't politics — it's principle.It's about humanity, freedom, and the oneness reggae has always stood for.Zionya and Mr. E reflect on how reggae has forever carried the message of the oppressed — from Africa's liberation movements to Jamaica's cry against Babylon, and now, the world's plea for peace.After the talk, the music continues the reasoning — unity riddims, righteous harmonies, and the timeless echo that says:“One Love means all people.”Tune in for healing, culture, and roots vibration that still dares to speak truth to power.

We open Episode 11 of Reggae Hour Salute with the powerful and grounding anthem “Freedom” by Aza Lineage, setting the vibration for a deep and necessary reasoning on Babylon systems — how they operate, how they shape culture, and how conscious people learn to see through them.Mr. E and Zionya break down Babylon not as a buzzword, but as a lived reality — touching on social conditioning, economic pressure, spiritual distraction, and the importance of awareness, discipline, and community.From there, we move into “Nineveh” by Redeemm, a song that reinforces accountability, warning, and reflection — before letting the rest of the music carry the message forward.This episode blends roots, dub, fire band energy, and conscious lyrics, delivering food for the mind and vibration for the soul.

We open Episode 12 of Reggae Hour Salute with the timeless anthem “Jah's Glory” by Third World, setting the tone for a deep and reasoned discussion on the divinity, legacy, and spiritual significance of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I.Mr. E and Zionya explore why Haile Selassie remains central to Rastafari philosophy, African identity, and global liberation thought — separating myth, faith, history, and cultural impact with respect and clarity.After the reasoning, we let the music speak. This episode features a powerful lineup of roots, culture, and conscious reggae selections pulled straight from the vibration — uplifting messages, Nyabinghi spirit, and forward-thinking sounds.

The Seal We open Episode 14 of Reggae Hour Salute with Tasha T – The World Is Trouble, a sobering roots anthem that sets the tone for reflection, clarity, and truth. From there, Mr. E closes out Reggae Hour Salute with a heartfelt recap of the past three days, honoring the music, the reasoning, and the spirit that carried us through this journey. Over the three-day experience, we reasoned on:African liberation and modern coups, especially Burkina Faso, sovereignty, and the global shift away from colonial controlBabylon systems, global power structures, and the role reggae plays as truth-telling musicRastafarian philosophy, spirituality, and the divinity of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie IWomen in reggae as culture bearers, messengers, and matriarchs of soundFood, fashion, and faith — from i-tal living to cultural expressionGlobal justice, Palestine, Africa, the Caribbean, and unity through consciousnessThis episode is not just an ending — it's a seal. A reminder that reggae is more than sound. It is memory, resistance, healing, and prophecy. We close with music that echoes where we've been and points toward where we're going.

Day two of Reggae Hour Salute continues with a powerful meditation on reggae fashion as culture, resistance, and identity.This episode opens in roots fashion with Lee “Scratch” Perry – King of the Animals, then Mr. E and Zionya step into a conversation about how reggae fashion has never been about trends — it's about truth, ancestry, spirituality, and self-definition.From African garments to Rasta symbolism, from handmade expression to colors that speak louder than words, this segment breaks down how reggae fashion moves as a living archive of liberation. The music throughout the episode reinforces that message — roots first, message always.This is fashion with meaning.Music with purpose.Culture without compromise.

This episode of Reggae Hour Salute opens with a foundation stone:Burning Spear – Marcus Garvey.From there, Mr. E and Zionya step into one of the most important conversations of the entire series — Africa reclaiming itself.We break down the recent African coups, with a focused look at Burkina Faso and the leadership of Ibrahim Traoré, examining what self-determination looks like in real time when nations reject colonial control and economic extraction. The conversation connects African liberation directly to Jamaican independence, Garveyism, and Rastafarian consciousness, showing how reggae has always been the global messenger for these movements.This is not hype.This is history moving forward.The music that follows carries that same revolutionary spirit — roots, resistance, and reason — reminding us that reggae has always documented the fall of Babylon long before headlines caught up.

Episode 4 — Rise Up & Roots HeritageMusic isn't just sound — it's lineage.We open with Don Dada's “Rise Up” and move into a powerful conversation on roots heritage, the musical bloodline that travels from African freedom struggles to reggae culture in Jamaica and beyond. Mr. E and Zai-O-Nya break down what roots reggae really is, why it's more than a beat, and how it lives in culture even when stages go silent.This episode features deep music selections spanning classic legends and modern voices — from Mystic Revealers' “Blue Nile” and Burning Spear's “Marcus Garvey” to conscious basslines from Kleva Roots, Aaron Silk, DK & Dubz, Tasha T, Buju Banton, and more.

The spirit of conscious reggae never rests.We open this episode with Marcia Griffiths – All My Life, a reminder that reggae is not a moment — it's a lifelong mission. From there, Reggae Hour Salute turns its focus to the other reggae festivals around the world that continue holding the line for roots, culture, and message-driven music when major stages go silent.In this conversation, we reflect on how gatherings beyond the spotlight — community festivals, independent sound systems, and grassroots events — keep the culture alive year after year. These are the spaces where conscious reggae is protected, amplified, and passed forward.This episode also features a powerful playlist spanning generations and regions, highlighting artists who embody resilience, upliftment, and global unity through sound.Reggae doesn't depend on one stage. It lives wherever the people gather.

Before the countdown.Before the fireworks.Before the world agrees the year has changed.Reggae Hour pauses to ask a deeper question:When does the year really turn?In this New Year's Eve episode, Mr. E and Zai-O-Nya reason through time not as numbers on a calendar, but as something felt—in the body, in the land, and in the music. Across four reflective segments, they explore sacred time, reggae as a living record of history, ancestral practices of closing cycles, and what the sound of recent reggae reveals about the season ahead.This is not a countdown episode.It's a ritual broadcast—designed for listening, grounding, and entering the next season with clarity.

There's something special about sifting through tune after tune, looking for rare songs, special versions, dubs, and putting together a playlist that I've never heard before. Some of you may know these tracks, others will be new to you as well. I hope you enjoy this mix, and I encourage you to share. Dig deep into the roots with this handpicked set of rare reggae treasures from the 70s and early 80s. Each track is a gem, some long forgotten, others hiding in plain sight, blending heartfelt vocals, conscious lyrics, and deep, soulful rhythms. From soulful harmonies by The Eternals to the rebel spirit of Little Ian Rock, and the heavyweight dub of Dhaima & Dennis Brown, this mix captures the magic of uncovering rare cuts that deserve to be heard again. PLAYLIST The Eternals - Queen Of The Minstrels Junior Lacy - You will See Jah Light Liberators - Racial Situation The Itals - Jah Glory (12") Angela Prince - No Brother With No Fuss Bunny Lie Lie - Living As A Brother Dhaima & Dennis Brown - A True + Dub Rottadam - I Was Born To Be A Rebel Little Ian Rock - Jah Can Count On I Fulk Livingston Reid - Golden Dufferdill Earl Sixteen - Cheating Winston Hussey - Settle Every Posse Beverley Williams & Shaka All Stars - Sufferation

The previous decade saw the shift from Mento to the rise of Ska, the slowdown morphing into Rocksteady and eventual transition to something slower with a heavier groove, lower bass, and a new voice - one that communicated the news lyrically of what was transpiring within Kingston and surrounding areas - Roots Reggae. The Shift: From Rocksteady to Roots The late '60s gave us rocksteady, smoother, soulful, love-driven tunes with slower rhythms and tight harmonies. But by 1971, Jamaica was changing. The people were speaking out about politics, poverty, Rastafari, repatriation, and resistance. And the music began to echo that shift. Roots reggae emerged as a soundtrack to consciousness. The drums got heavier. The basslines got deeper. The lyrics started telling the truth about ghetto life, oppression, and spiritual awakening. PLAYLIST Count Ossie & The Mystic Revelations - Rasta Reggae David Isaacs - Knock Three Times Augustus Pablo & Bongo Herman - Java Passion Winston Wright & The Impact All Stars - Woodpecker Delroy Wilson - Better Must Come The Wailers - Sun Is Shining Lloyd Charmers - Reggae In Wonderland Bruce Ruffin - Rain Max Romeo - Let The Power Fall U-Roy - Everybody Bawling The Stingers - Give Me Power Prince Buster - Holly Dave & Ansel Collins - Double Barrel The Ethiopians - Everything Crash Roy Shirley - Dance Reggae Eric Donaldson - Cherry Oh Baby Burning Spear - This Population The Abyssinians - Poor Jason Whyte

Why the Golden Era? What makes it so special? Along with the fashion that has been part of Hip Hop culture from the start was the message, much like reggae shifted from love songs during the Rocksteady era to Roots Reggae in the 70s, where people were trying to unite and bring something more conscious and durable to the recordings. HipHop would repeat this shift 20 years later, from the early 80s with Run DMC, LL Cool J, Doug E. Fresh, and Kurtis Blow to Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Digable Planets, & Public Enemy amongst others - they formed a coalition of unity, consciousness, and empowerment. The Golden Era wasn't just about hits; it was a cultural movement. It set the blueprint for what hip-hop could be: raw yet refined, rebellious but thoughtful. Whether you grew up with these tracks or are just discovering them, this mix is a celebration of the sound and soul of one of music's most influential periods. PLAYLIST Skee-Lo – I Wish A Tribe Called Quest – Buggin' Out Fugees, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, Pras – Fu-Gee-La Black Sheep – The Choice Is Yours (Revisited) Beastie Boys – Egg Man House Of Pain – Jump Around - Pete Rock Remix Pete Rock, Method Man – Half Man Half Amazin (feat.

Músico, cantante y comunicador, Juan David Chacón, mejor conocido bajo su alias artistico, OneChot, es el invitado del episodio 55 de Metralla Rosa. Esta entrevista no solo fue grabada en Venezuela, sobre el cause del Río de Choroní, en uno de los santuarios creativos favoritos del artista, sino que además, refleja la posibilidad que siempre tenemos de dar un contexto reflexivo a nuestros afectos incuestionables. Carla y OneChot son hermanos de sangre y de camino, porque los unen visiones creativas, memorias de su amado país Venezuela y sentimientos acerca del arte y de la vida que comparten en este fluido encuentro de puntos de vista.En esta deliciosa y fluida conversación a orillas de las aguas dulces del rio, que probablemente escuchen como backgroud musical a lo largo de toda la entrevista, OneChot rebobina la memoria y se remonta a sus inicios en el mundo de la música, a sus maestros musicales y a su participación junto a bandas venezolanas como Negus Nagast y Papashanty: agrupaciones que han hecho historia en el devenir contemporáneo de los sonidos urbanos de la región. En esta entrevista llena de auténtica fraternidad, nuestro invitado aborda con proliferación anecdótica su nada modesta discografía como solista, nos cuenta acerca de su libro Reggae y Rastafari: Dos formas de entender el Caribe, y acerca de su actual proyecto radial de alcance mundial, Caribbean Flow, transmitido online por Radio Caribe – la emisora oficial de la diáspora venezolana – y por PelaGatos, la plataforma (argentina) de mayor difusión de la música Afro-Caribe en español. Carla y OneChot también conversan en esta entrevista sobre la pérdida de la inocencia en una ciudad cómo Caracas, una ciudad que, poco después de haber hecho viral el tema Rotten Town, le hizo pagar un precio muy alto, a nuestro artista invitado, por el milagro de usar su voz.Comprometido con el proceso de transformación y liberación de Venezuela, país que atraviesa una crisis política que parece no tener fin, y comprometido con la difusión del paradigma cultural y espiritual rastafari, OneChot cumplió 25 años de carrera artística en 2024 y lo celebró con un gran concierto de resistencia en su Caracas natal, ciudad que además ha sido hasta hoy, el epicentro natural de todas sus asertivas experimentaciones musicales. Siendo un sobreviviente de la violencia de la Caracas del 2000, OneChot nos cuenta también como ni siquiera recibir un disparo en la cien, ha debilitado su inquebrantable lealtad hacia un pueblo – el venezolano – que merece artistas que siembren futuro donde muchos solo ven frustración y desesperanza.En esta entrevista relajada, amorosa, cercana y serena, OneChot nos deleita con su pacifista cosmovisión del arte y de la vida y nos invita a fluir con su tempo, en su tono y al ritmo de su cálido verbo. Sin prisas, gracias a esta entrevista, todos nos vemos convocados a honrar la paz y la esperanza que Juan David predica con su vida, cada dia.¡Y ahora, disfruten la entrevista!_________Esta entrevista está disponible en Youtube, donde están disponibles subtítulos en inglés, italiano y español.También puedes visitar el sitio web de Metralla Rosa para más detalles.Support the show

Roots Reggae 45s

In this episode we welcome the great Kate Simon, who Zooms in from New York City to answer our questions about her stellar career and the new edition of Rebel Music, her book of classic reggae portraits. Kate talks about the formative moments that made her a music photographer, plus the 1972 move to London that brought her into the pages of Disc & Music Echo and Sounds. Her hosts quiz her about her timeless shots of David Bowie, Rod Stewart and the Clash before we hear of her first trip to Jamaica in 1976 and the start of her long association with Bob Marley and his fellow Wailers. We also learn more about Kate's friendships with Sounds colleagues such as Jonh Ingham, Vivien Goldman and art director Dave Fudger. After hearing about Kate's return to her native soil and her '80s work for The Face – as well as her personal preferences as a photographer — we switch coasts to California in order to mark the imminent 80th birthday of Joni Mitchell. Clips from Dave Zimmer's 1983 audio with the First Lady of Laurel Canyon – with her wry observations about Messrs. Crosby, Stills and Nash – prompt more general thoughts on her peerless music from Blue to Hejira to Night Ride Home. With Mark sipping the last of the summer wine in his beloved Crete, Jasper concludes matters with quotes from — and reflections on — newly-added library pieces about Miles Davis, Rod Stewart and Steve Reich... not to mention a priceless Billy Eckstine reminiscence of gigging with John Coltrane. Many thanks to special guest Kate Simon. The new edition of Rebel Music: Bob Marley and Roots Reggae is published by Genesis Publications. Pieces discussed: Kate Simon interviewed by Paul Gorman, Reggae: Black punks on 'erb, Richard Hell, David Bowie, Patti Smith, Joni Mitchell audio, The Seeds, Miles Davis, Rod Stewart, Billy Eckstine, Steve Reich, Queen Latifah and Michael Kiwanuka.

Four fun things. Many random discussions.So sometimes, we have a fun story, news story, fact or piece of trivia which we think is good Simblified fodder but not enough for a whole episode. So along came the idea of taking four of these and making them one episode! Introducing Simblified Half Pints: A freshly brewed new format where your four hosts will each bring one fact or story (or whatever, really) to the table and then we yak about it for 10-15 minutes. With the usual Simblified detours of bad jokes, anecdotes, and perhaps something profound too!  In this inaugural episode we look at sparkling water, the FIFA World Cup, anchovies and mosquitoes - thankfully not all at once. We hope you like this new format - let us know what you think. We plan to do this once a month. Add one part news, one part bad jokes, one part Wikipedia research, one part cult references from spending too much time on the internet, one part Wodehouse quotes, and one part quality puns, and you get Simblified.A weekly podcast to help you appear smarter, to an audience that knows no less! Your four hosts - Chuck, Naren, Srikeit, and Tony attempt to deconstruct topics with humor (conditions apply). Fans of the show have described it as "fun conversations with relatable folks", "irreverent humor", "the funniest thing to come out of Malad West" and "if I give you a good review will you please let me go".Started in 2016 as a creative outlet, Simblified now has over 200 episodes, including some live ones, and some with guests who are much smarter than the hosts.

Nos introducimos en un programa íntegro de reggae desde diferentes puntos de oído. Tal y como muestra el enunciado este viaje bien definido estilísticamente se muestra muy variado en cuanto al origen de sus artistas, a las influencias que recibe y a las versiones que acoge. Reggae desde tres puntos de oído.Una primera parte a base de reggae roots o de raíz interpretado por artistas de muy diferentes procedencias y que se alejan poco o nada de lo que fueron las raíces de este estilo.La segunda de reggae interactuando con otros estilos tales como el ethio-reggae (Asmara All Star),el reggae-soul (Glen Washington),el arabo-reggae (Jimmy Oihid),el reggae-son (Maikel Ante,Pepe Ordaz,Mista Savona…) y el reggae con hip-hop y rock (Danakil,Manjul &Natty Jean).Y la tercera en base a versiones en clave de reggae de canciones mundialmente famosas pertenecientes al siglo pasado.

In the episode I have a stellar interview with West Coast Reggae Superstar, Evan Burton of the band 'Indubious'. Evan discusses what led him to start the band 'Indubious' with his brother Spencer, and the journey to where they are now. . Evan also shares what it means to be a starseed and his powerful experiences with the plant spirit Iboga, which changed both his and his brother's life.. Drop In!www.indubiousmusic.comIndubious Bio:The story of Indubious is not for the faint of heart. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Indubious was forged in the fires of pain and destruction. Evton and Skip, brothers and bandmates born with Cystic Fibrosis and convinced by doctors of their impending death from an early age, have emerged as a powerful force for change and the future of conscious music. Their only choice has always been mind over matter, and time has proven that their unbending positive outlook, combined with an inspiring message of love and hope, has not only helped them overcome personal hardship, but catapulted their music onto the world stage with an unstoppable momentum. Currently based in Oregon, Indubious has released several albums over the past few years, including Wake The Lion which was produced by EDM/Dub/Reggae pioneer Gaudi. Their new album Beleaf, released summer 2019, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Reggae Chart and #2 on iTunes Reggae Chart. Previous to that, From Zero, released 7/17/17 features legendary guest artists including Dancehall icon Sizzla, Vaughn Benjamin (formally of Midnite and Akae Beka), and Reggae/R&B singer Zahira Soul. From Zero is a mix of conscious Dancehall and Roots Reggae with top level production. All songs were written, produced, and engineered by Indubious, and released on their own label Righteous Sound Productions. And they recently released The Bridge, and the Bridge remix album in 2021, and 2022Armed with impressive instrumental skill, powerful harmonies, and an electrifying stage presence, Indubious is destined to change the face of music. They have developed a steadily rising reputation as ambassadors of the West Coast Reggae movement. Leaving audiences stunned and amazed whilst shattering any preconceived notions of genre and style, they recruit fans from all walks of life, affectionately called "Indubians." The band and their legion of fans have adopted the motto “Live Indubiously,” which means living life without doubt or fear, and with faith in the fact that we are all here for a reason. “Our gift is music,” says Indubious, “and our mission is to reconnect the people of the world with rightful living. We wish to speak the truth in an effort to inspire others to do the same, to raise the positive vibrations of our planet, and to help others express the true loving nature within us all.” Get bonus content on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
