Description

The reggae ambassadors are here to lively up the penultimate installment of this summer's Music in the Park series. Formed in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1973, Third World had a full decade to digest the first waves of ska, rocksteady and reggae before ever laying down a track or playing in front of a crowd. Their sound is informed by all the scratchy, bass-heavy movements that came before them, as well as the glistening synths and tight, dance floor-optimized drumming that would come to define the disco era. Key tracks include "1865 (96° in the Shade)" and "Try Jah Love."
