Trenchtown Rock to CaliRoots
This 6 episode podcast series Presented by Henry K and Rootsland delves into the rich history and evolution of reggae, tracing the path from it’s roots in Kingston, Jamaica to the current thriving “CaliRoots” scene in California. Each episode will focus on a different decade, starting with the 70’s and how a hippy movement disgruntled about the way rock and roll sold out, embraced this refreshing and authentic Island sound. The series will break down the key artists, events, and cultural influences that shaped reggae’s progression over time and why California became such fertile ground for the Island sound
