Reggae history

|Without reggae culture, there’d be no Ms Dynamite, Roni Size, So Solid, no Massive Attack, Madness and The Clash wouldn’t have |
|packed the same bassline punch.|
|Jamaica’s slave population were the most rebellious, and plantation owners hated to have to stay on the island as they ||perpetually feared for their lives. |
|Modern Jamaican music – from ska onwards – owes almost as much toancient African traditions as it does to R&B and jazz. |
|The majority of the first generation of world famous Jamaican musicians were classically and formally trained eg Don Drummond. |
