the worldwide appeal of reggae

I used to live in Cuba and Bob was huge there.

Reggae is definitely alive and well here in Japan, especially after the recent Pressure Sounds Tokyo party and the DJ Kentaro release. The Skatalites are touring here at the end of the month, too. Good vibes all around.
