For me, Groundation are the best modern roots reggae band of the moment.
They have culture on the words and sometimes makes me remember those days...
Please if there is another band like groundation can you tell me?!
Respect.

Try Bambu Station a great group from the Virgin Island!!!

peace

ites deh

Capital Letters é realmente muito bom mas já é dos anos 80...
quanto grupos de new roots que procuras posso aconselhar-te a par dos Groundation, os John Brown's Body e os primeiros 8 albuns de Midnite que são das ilhas virgens e são muito bons embora estes ultimos albuns estejam com uma fusão de ancehall,hip hop
respect everytime

you should also try Yahadanai from the virgin islands too. Quite creative. Roots sound.Some Midnite musicians, i think his album was produced by Tippy Alfred, the guitarist.
For Midnite, Ras Mek Peace is from far the best album for me, you can also check Unpolished or Assini. Also take a look at Dezarie from Ste Croix, female roots, some very good songs.
I also already spoke of Matisyahu, mixing roots reggae, oldschool hip hop (for the voice) and jewish religion (lyrics) cheers
