"One Step Beyond"

On Episode 2 of Kingston to Cali, "One Step Beyond" we explore the legacy of Cali’s early reggae festivals and how they evolved from "concerts" to "communities." Family friendly events, exposing new generations to roots reggae's mellow uplifting vibes. However, kids like to rebel against their parents, and as the 90’s approached Generation X proved to be no different. This "one drop" roots reggae...well it was fine for Mom and Dad but didn't go far enough to satisfy the unbridled energy of these kids...they wanted to go "One Step Beyond."

Produced by Henry K in association with Voiceboxx Studio Red Hills, Jamaica
