Dude, you forgot Morgan's Heritage, Tessanne Chynne, Tarus Riley and Turbulence!...Well being Jamaican yeah I do love reggae. Lyrics mean a lot to me and I find I can listen to a lot of the conscious reggae songs (besides the rhythms are awesome). Yup yup.

 

[Natural1]

LOL...yes well I was trying to initiate them slowly. The wife & I are going to catch Beres live in a couple weeks. Lovers rock cyaan dun.

 

[Lion-Of-Zion]

I suck at posting. Sorry bout the double post.

 

[Lion-Of-Zion]

Im so jealous!! You guys will have to dance for me when he plays There for You.


Is anyone going to be at the Reggae Rising Festival? August 1-3rd in California, Sizzla, Don Carlos, Collie Buddz, Gentleman, UB40, Beres Hammond, Tanya Stephens, Cham, Turbulence, Lexxus, Sly & Robbie, Junior Reid, Black Judah, Julian Marley and many more. I would go there but Cali is far away L

I was there one year when it was still Reggae on the River. The music was good, but the "party scene" was annoying...alot of people doing drugs all night blasting music so the rest of us couldn't sleep.
The Sierra Nevada Festival (also in northern California) is much nicer.

I suppose a Reggae show with out ganja is like a rave without x. They are out there, but hard to find
Florida seems to have a lot of festivals to.

 

[Light So Shine]

Yes, it's pretty cool. The lyrics are very introspective.

 

[guitargeekette]

" Remember the songs that used to make you rock a way, those were the days when love used to reign yeah..." Beres Hammond is the boss.

Oh, the ganja doesn't bother me at all. It's the coke/meth/acid/etc which keeps people awake & obnoxious all night. Yea, Florida is definitely a haven for Caribbean music, given the population. It's next on my vacation list.

@guitarette, you see it I wish Beres would put out some new hits, he's long overdue.

That’s my favorite Berism.
I thought that’s what you might have meant. Florida has always been on my to visit list. Haha I just need some family down in the keys to visit.

I love Bob Marley, and listen to a little bit of Matisyahu.
