The Virgin Encyclopedia of Reggae (Virgin Encyclopedias of Popular Music)

The Virgin Encyclopedia of Reggae (Virgin Encyclopedias of Popular Music)

Colin Larkin
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Jamaica's finest musical export owes much to the USA: it was the R&B played by New Orleans radio stations and picked up in the Caribbean that inspired local musicians to produce their own off-beat version. For a long time reggae remained something of a closed book, a specialist taste, but in recent years it has reached new audiences.To find your way through the cluster of interconnecting names that make up the history of reggae, The Virgin Encyclopedia of Reggae is your informed and trusty guide. Based on the critically acclaimed Encyclopedia of Popular Music, it includes entries on the sound system pioneers like Prince Buster and Duke Reid who got the whole movement going, as well as the producers/performers who were at the heart of the early development of ska, reggae and dub -- Coxsone Dodd, Lee Perry and U Roy.

Here are the performers who began to take reggae beyond Jamaica's shores -- Jimmy Cliff, Millie Small and Bob Marley -- as well as those who have been at the forefront of new reggae: Shabba Ranks, Buju Banton, Capelton Sizzla and Red Rat.
