	Roots reggae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Roots Reggae is the name given to Rastafarian reggae music from Jamaica, which evolved from Ska and Rocksteady and made famous by the legendary singer/songwriter Bob Marley.
		Roots reggae is an inherently spiritual type of reggae music, the lyrics of which are predominantly in praise of Jah Rastafari - believed to have been incarnate in His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie (1892-1975) the King of Ethiopia.
		Roots reggae was an important part of Jamaican culture, and whilst other forms of reggae have replaced it in terms of popularity in Jamaica (Dancehall for instance), roots reggae has found a small, but growing, niche globally.

	Boston.com / A&E / Music / Reggae fest wasn't in the groove
		Reggae is swinging back into vogue, judging from the sold-out crowd of 5,000 fans that attended the Roots Rock Reggae Festival at FleetBoston Pavilion Thursday.
		This was not "roots reggae" from the days of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer.
		They're touring together for the first time, and on Thursday they were all over the place, mixing muddily distorted, over-amped dancehall reggae with occasional touches of roots and some off-the-wall experiments that, frankly, sent a lot of listeners to the exits early.

	Scratch : dub, reggae, rocksteady & ska (home)
		Solid Foundation is the history of the first thirty years of Jamaican reggae, from the pre-ska era to the dawn of dancehall.
		Dub version B-sides, and the odd instrumental A-side, began to elevate drum and bass to the fore, with heavily mudulated rhythms transformed through the application of effects such as reverb and echo, applied either to instruments or to snatches of vocals that drifted in and out of the mix.
		This growth is largely attributed to Bob Marley, reggae artist, and the worldwide acceptance of reggae as an avenue of Rastafarian self-expression.

		He was the world's best-known Rastafarian, and as such he believed that Ethiopia was his spiritual home, and in the divinity of the former Ethiopian leader Haile Selassie.
		The movement was boosted by Jamaican prime minister Michael Manley who found it politically useful to invoke the memory of Marcus Garvey in the 70s, and even waved Garvey's "Rod of Correction" during his meetings.
		Reggae stars made use of the Ethiopian (and now Rasta) colours of red, gold and green, and the image of the solemn-looking Selassie peered out from dozens of reggae album covers and posters.

		Like most universally minded Jamaican artists raised on a steady diet of reggae, gospel and randb, he draws no distinction between love in its spiritual or secular forms.
		Both have their origins in the grace of God and whilst his lyrics may sound utopian in places, they’re rooted in the personal, affirmative action of someone who’s had the courage to turn their life around, no matter the distractions or what others may say.
		Messages abound on mighty roots tracks such as former single Go Tell It; Pure Lies and How Can You (voiced on cuts of Burning Spear’s Marcus Garvey and Slavery Days respectively), So Dem Bad and then The Right Road itself, which utilises the same rhythm Danny used for the Ras Ites’ Picture On The Wall.
