Reggae Music will never Die ! !! !! ! !! !!

[ranking trevor]

All the music coming out nowadays really is a disgrace - But reggae, No it always shines,even the new stuff

[BOZ]

Reggae has a message, so it's worth my time...

[ruff]

im not so keen on todays reggae myself althought there are a few exceptions, i find the reggae in JA these days is terrible and no matter how many times i listen to some tunes which are hits in JA i just can't seem to enjoy them, all that shouting gets on my nerves sometimes and same old riddims, but the european stuff i like, lots of nice reggae comming out of France these past few years.......

[nacho]

wicked.
ruff i agree with you 100 % true new reggae is awfullllll

[arize_rootsman]

new reggae sucks nothing like the 70's 80' n 90's cause some 90's shit was good too

REGGAE WILL NEVER DIE
untill the JAH THE ALMIGHTY DIES too and that will never happen Jahovah is God

[Youthman Deh]

Yet there are righteous works from even today!

Sounds from the likes of Jah Shaka, Keety Roots, Rhythm & Sound, Blue & Red, Conscious Sounds, Jah Warrior, Groundation...

The immerse power & spirituality shines through strong here!! Sure, you can complain about the sound not being analogic and all the modern digital technique eating away the vibrations and all that usual blah-blah, but you can't deny the pure power behind these tunes! The very same spirit that was first really introduced by Burning Spear through his "Door Peep Shall Not Enter" can still be heard today.

Equipment may change, but the players of instruments shall remain true - ever faithful, going forwards ever, backwards never!

For "the players of instruments will be there"!

[Javier]

Reggae is the soundtrack of mi life, love all JA music indeed, and nowadays, Luciano is the one, check is bio, he's never faltered in Jah music, no slackness pure message...
Bless

In addition to Youthman`s list - don`t forget `bout the band called **Midnite** - great stuff.

... but also... today you won`t find the vocal groups like in yesterdays (e.g. **Viceroys, Matumbi, Wailing Souls, Silvertones**).

Where are the real beautiful harmonies?!

[arize_rootsman]

yeah i like the new stuff but with the legendery artists like: don carlos, wailing souls, viceroys, israel vibration.

I've been working with Roots Covenant in the studio for several months so expect a LIVE INSTURMENT cd to come out sometime 2007, in the meantime check out some demos on their page. as far as the other bands i dunno what kinda releases they have coming but hit em up and ask. support the scene and please buy their music, thats the only way to keep reggae music from dying.
respect.
