Kingston to Cali "Reggae's Journey West"

Tonight on Kingston to Cali, We head back to 1968, and it makes total sense that a show which traces the Journey of Reggae from Kingston to Cali, has an Episode titled "On the Beach," a song not only central to the growth of Reggae in California, but can be argued is one of the most important songs of the 20th Century. We also choose the Winner of our Caliroots Facebook contest.

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, JamaicaVisit our website ROOTSLAND NATION Reggae Music, Podcast & MerchandiseListen to the Original Rootsland Podcast on your app of choice .
