Reggae

A refreshing and timeless blend of reggae music from throughout the decades.

Reggae music emerged in the 60’s in Jamaica and became a music genre that is wrapped in social and political consciousness. Reggae evolved from ska and rocksteady styles of music, and began making its way onto mainstream radio and music charts in the early seventies. As the format evolved, reggae continued to pull from R&B, jazz, calypso, Latin American music and Caribbean influences.

The earliest reggae singles often featured a dub or instrumental track, usually called “version” on the record label. The Reggae channel brings forth unique mixes and rare tracks. Playlists are hand picked daily and will please people of all ages, with styles ranging from roots reggae, to ska, rocksteady, dub, dj, dancehall, dub poets, world reggae, lover’s rock, and unique cover songs.
