Description
Throughout the history of reggae music there have been critical moments, when a group of bands have signified a movement forward in the evolution of the genre. In the dawn of reggae, acts like Bob Marley and The Wailers, Jacob Miller and Inner Circle, Joseph Hill and Culture, Black Uhuru, Burning Spear, and countless others laid the foundation for what would forever be known as roots reggae music. This was the first mainstream introduction of the genre by moguls like Chris Blackwell, who had the vision to give these R&B-inspired bands in Jamaica a rock and roll aesthetic. The first wave of crossover success had occurred and Jamaica and Rastafari were on the world map as a rebellious spirit within the heart of the Caribbean.
