Description
Though they're now the elder statesmen of a popular form of highly danceable reggae, it wasn't always thus for Grammy winners Steel Pulse. They had plenty of trouble getting bookings in their early days, and their Rastafarian reggae anthems weren't making any friends in the Brits' club scene. Steel Pulse represents the ideals of a community that has been historically dragged around, and besides the ganja, their lyrics push pan-African pride and Rastafari beliefs. And although they picked up some pop and, most recently, hip-hop on the journey to recognition, they remain admirably loyal to their roots. - Kate Jacobson sanjose.com
