ROOTS ROCK REGGAE  ⎯  The Jamaican Music Scene In 1977 🇯🇲

“Roots Rock Reggae” depicts an unforgettable moment in Jamaica's history when music defined the island's struggles and immortalised its heroes. 

Director Jeremy Marre films Bob Marley and the Wailers, and Lee 'Scratch' Perry record in his legendary Black Ark studio with The Upsetters. Jimmy Cliff rehearses with Sly and Robbie, while Inner Circle's historic live gig is recorded on the violent Kingston streets. The legendary Abyssinians harmonise their haunting Rastafarian songs; Joe Higgs (formerly Bob Marley's teacher) plays and talks; majestic toaster U Roy raps alongside The Mighty Diamonds, and Third World record in a Kingston studio.

There is also early archive footage of Toots and the Maytals, and Haile Selessie's royal visit to Jamaica while police and thieves battle it out on the streets, and the ghettos erupt in violence. 

1977: An extraordinary year for Reggae music, captured live in this award-winning film. Roots Rock Reggae was the first in-depth documentary about Reggae music in Jamaica.

RIP Lee "Scratch" Perry 🖤 This magazine right here was responsible for my introduction to the legend. He was the pioneer of Dub and arguably the father of Reggae. The music world lost one of its most unique minds and people today. #RestInPower #LeeScratchPerry https://www.instagram.com/p/CTKmvQKlWf7/?utm_medium=tumblr

£ee $cratch Perry - Rainford, On-U Sound 2019. Ltd Ed, gold. - This is the latest album from the elder statesman of dub, the great Upsetter himself, Lee Scratch Perry. He brings us surreal images, takes of wow and autobiographical musings. These recordings feel more intimate and honest than the last several years. At the controls, another dub master, Adrian Sherwood, brings great energy that never overtakes Perry's vocals and stories. An overall chill affair that remains vital and at times poignant, as the the 83 yr old dub wizard shares his thoughts on the wild ride that has been his life. Respect. - #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcommunity #lps #leescratchperry #onusound #dub #reggae #roots #rocksteady #adriansherwood https://www.instagram.com/p/B1EXpZJJolO/?igshid=1t3ajr6o2veuu
