	Reggae & Dancehall
		Reggae is Jamaican popular music that developed in the 1960s among Kingston's poor fls, drawing on American “soul” music and traditional African and Jamaican folk music and ska (a Jamaican and British dance-hall music).
		Dancehall reggae founded itself on the vocals and lyrical toasts of characters such as Yellowman and General Echo and a penchant for slackness (as bawdy lyrics were known).
		Reggae as a style of music was heavily influence by the ideologies of Rastafari and was also spirited by the socialist movements in the island at the time.

	A History of Reggae Music
		Compared with rock music, reggae music basically inverted the role of bass and guitar: the former was the lead, the latter beat the typical hiccupping pattern.
		The paradox of reggae, of course, is that this music "unique to Jamaica" is actually not Jamaican at all, having its foundations in the USA and Africa.
		Among the reggae vocal groups, the Abyssinians' Satta Massa Gana (1971) is representative of the mood of the era.

	Rotten Tomatoes: The Vine: ROCKERS
		The Rasta Reggae classic "Rockers" is not only a perfect movie to watch, it also gives a credible picture of this situation in Jamaica during the late 1970's.
		Not only is it simply a great joy to see all this Reggae Music in the place where it originated, it is also an educational movie in the sense that the viewer learns about the runnings in Jamaica considerably more then after looking to another "Sunshine Reggae" video clip.
		Rockers should therefore be present in the collection of every self-respecting Reggae lover.

	Jamaica DVD Reggae DVD Rockers
		The movie is filled with star studded cameos, -- Burning Spear, Gregory Isaacs, and Sly Dunbar to name a few – as all the roles are played by musicians, adding to the charm of the movie.
		The soundtrack to this movie is far and away the real value, as the music in Rockers is some of the best music you’ll hear on any movie, period.
		Rockers is an entertaining romp across the countryside of Jamaica, and does a great job in featuring the music industry, from the horn section practicing in the shanty to shots of producing records in Joe Gibb’s studio.

	'ROCKERS' EXPLORES THE HARD WORLD OF JAMAICAN REGGAE - New York Times
		Rockers,'' which opens today at the Eighth Street Playhouse, is about many of the same things the earlier film was about, though it's slightly more polished in some technical respects.
		The feeling ''Rockers'' has for Jamaican culture, which would seem to run deep, is all the more remarkable in view of the fact that the director, Theodoros Bafaloukos, is Greek.
		ROCKERS, reggae musical adventure, written and directed by Theodoros Bafaloukos; director of photography, Peter Sova; film editor, Susan Steinberg; produced by Avrom Robin; released by New Yorker Films; in rasta patois with English subtitles.

	ROCKERS: The movie spawned by world interest in Jamaica's music - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		Bafaloukos had also spent a lot of time in Jamaica observing the mechanics of the reggae trade and was driven to produce a documentary on its leading players.
		The first two weeks of Rockers were shot in Montego Bay and Ocho Rios with the remaining six weeks filmed in Kingston, which at the time was rife with politically-motivated violence.
		Rockers never attained the acclaim of The Harder They Come, which continues to be shown on North American cable television.

	Roots Rock Reggae - Rascalin and The Roots Rockers
		Reggae may have evolved the last twenty years - but not necessarily "up" the evolutionary chain.
		Rascalin and the Roots Rockers' "Reggae Fever!" is a welcome and long overdue return to the authentic rhythms, chops and grooves that made classic reggae recordings endure.
		The roots-reggae singer, writer and guitarist is a native of Bocas del Toro, a small Caribbean island off the northern coast of Panama where poor Jamaican, Spanish and Asian workers migrated after completion of the transcontinental canal.

		When the girl in the purple dress catches the Spirit at river baptism, her joy is for real.
		The film's most illustrative detail is its creation of a dreads vs. Afros world in which the disco-loving DJ at the local dub joint is overthrown so that Horsemouth and friends can get their reggae on.
		This is a land where the only thing a brother in a butterfly collar and an Afro is good for is banging the Tuff Gong.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Rockers
		This is the various Rockers’ respective chance to shine, and they plan on taking up all the screen time they need to cash it in.
		Which is kinda the case for most of the stars of Rockers: they’re all famous or familiar faces in their musical genre, and it’s nice that someone finally gave them their due even though their last names aren’t Marley.
		In sum: Rockers is not for cinema purists, it’s for sonic purists, which explains why the film has been resuscitated for the DVD crowd by music video mainstays, the aptly named Music Video Distributors.

	Article : In memory of.. Augustus Pablo.
		In his role as musician and producer he has helped to shape reggae so much that his music can easily be described as 'the sound of the Seventies'.
		Something else that Augustus Pablo had in his favour was an uncanny knack for picking on unlikely or unknown vocalists to sing or toast over his riddims, not only providing the public with good music but also the chance to hear what these people could do given the opportunity.
		However, just when the reggae cognoscenti were writing Pablo off, his reputation was restored with the 1990 released "Blowing In The Wind".

		You get a sampling of the best of Pulse because even with 16 songs clocking in at over 73 minutes, there are a lot of more prime cuts.
		After releasing their debut album, Handsworth Revolution (1978, Mango), and its successors, Tribute to the Martyrs and True Democracy (both for Elektra) in the early '80s, with their innovative blend of straight-ahead reggae, flamenco and Euro-pop containing potent pleas for social reform, critics and fans alike hailed them as Marley's successors.
		Now, that is not to say that there are not a lot of other great talents in Reggae Music but we want to make sure Nasio gets to share the spotlight on the world stage.

	Reggae Reviews: Bunny Wailer
		Wailer seems to excel when he decides to have a little fun, to not get caught up in the oft-serious nature of roots reggae.
		Thus, the livelier material is the stronger material here, something that would prove true for much of his future output.
		In fact, most of it is reggae, featuring a nice mid-temp throwback sound that often incorporates a ska/rock steady vibe, but in the end, most of them still disappoint.

	Blogcritics.org: Rockers
		From there, we move to the story of devout, hard-working, fun-loving Rasta Horsemouth (Leroy Wallace), reputedly a brilliant reggae drummer, who surmounts a host of obstacles — most centrally the theft of his prized motorbike — to vanquish evil and get to his gigs on time.
		Still, Rockers achieves much: It offers incredible glimpses into Jamaican life — its poor neighborhoods, the no-frills world of the reggae-music business, its fast-lane downtown nightlife scene, Kingston's underground crime culture, and its rural spiritual communities.
		Rockers keeps the Rasta justice-peace-and-love message at its center, which makes it more than a mere pleasant travail though another country — it's an important film.

		Having been a fixture in Northeast Ohio reggae circles since the late '80s, Mann has often provoked the ire of scene diehards with his non traditional look and sound - a pastiche of bright pop, light rock, club beats, over hardcore reggae rhythms.
		Reggae even started and first became popular in the early days with a more ‘pop’ ideology.
		There are so many different sub genres of reggae with each artist having their own place in the scheme of things.

		This ethnic, reggae-infused gem is currently turning heads in so many ear-tweaking ways that even before the album was released, three top FM stations in Manila insisted on playing it right away.

	Review - Ossie Dellimore : Freedom's Journal
		After some two year's of silence on the recording side of his musical career, Ossie Dellimore's great songwriting and strong, powerful vocal performance (to many reminiscent of a young Peter Tosh) can now be captured on his entertaining, self-produced debut album "Freedom's Journal".
		An album that brings the listener undiluted roots reggae from the very first drop.
		If you don't mind that some tracks are dominated by synthesizer parts ("Justice") and a "rock style" guitar solo ("Rockers Reggae") this decent 'roots rock reggae' delivery from Ossie Dellimore may be well worth checking out.
