The only one i can think of is UB40 and Yabby You is still a Rastafari although he sees jesus as the messiah instead of Jah Rastafari Haile I Selassie I.

Thats pretty strange. Almost all of the other deejays and singjays in the early 80's weree rastafari's. Didnt know about Jimmy Cliff either.

There are many, many, many non-rastas.
Its ignorant to think reggae is strictly rastafarian music.

Re: Do you know any non-rastafarian reggae musicians?
also most producers like joe gibbs, coxsone. I guess we are only talking about the foundation musician not about dancehall artists right?
