Description
Reggae is the heart of the island of Jamaica and has shaped its culture, religion, dress and language. From its beginnings in traditional African folk songs, to its metamorphosis into a vehicle for messages of Rastafarianism and social and political protest, reggae is truly a music of the people. Influencing the sounds of artists world-wide, it captures the universal desire for peace, change and a better world. This is a funky, accessible and comprehensive history of a people and their music geared directly towards adolescents. With many b/w photos. Ages 10-14.
