My girlfriend, Lisa, used to say to me, “Oh, reggae isn’t that popular… Nobody listens to reggae”.  She definitely had no idea what the frig she was talking about.

Needless to say, after saying that a few too many times, she got kicked to the curb.

You can only say that so many times to a guy named Rasta Ron.

I am always impressed with the way reggae is always growing worldwide. To me it is the most beautiful music imaginable.

Check out this Polish reggae singer…I think SHE is my next girlfriend…

The international enthusiasm for reggae is astounding. You would be surprised at the sheer volume of reggae bands and festivals in the various world countries.

I mean, there are:

• Russian reggae bands
• Japanese reggae
• German reggae bands
• UK reggae bands
• Polish reggae
• Brazilian reggae web sites
• Pink Floyd reggae (yep!)
• Latin Reggae  – Reggaeton
• Dark Reggae Metal
• A wicked Sinead O’Connor reggae album

The examples are endless.

All you need to do is to walk on any college campus ANYWHERE, and you will see students playing hacky sack, beating on drums, and inevitably someone will be wearing this t-shirt.

Seen?

Personally, I think reggae still has a lot of growing to do.  But one thing is crystal clear:  With a beat, message and sound so unique, you can’t go wrong.

Jah Music Lives!
