Jamaica is a small country in the Caribbean, 146 miles wide and
populated by fewer than three million people. Nevertheless, it has
exerted a more powerful hold on international popular music than
any nation besides England and America. From Prince Buster to
Burning Spear, Lee "Scratch" Perry to Yellowman, Bob Marley to
Shabba Ranks, reggae music is one of the most dynamic and powerful
musical forms of the twentieth century. And, as Lloyd Bradley shows
in his deft, definitive, and always entertaining book, it is and
always has been the people's music. Born in the sound systems of
the Kingston slums, reggae was the first music poor Jamaicans could
call their own, and as it spread throughout the world, it always
remained fluid, challenging, and distinctly Jamaican. Based on six
years of research -- original interviews with most of reggae's key
producers, musicians, and international players -- and a lifelong
enthusiasm for one of the most remarkable of the world's musics,
This Is Reggae Music is the definitive history of reggae.
