Various Artists - African Reggae
(Arc Music EUCD 1824)
African Reggae is ‘roots reggae’ as opposed to Jamaican Dub and Dancehall, though Ragga (Rap) has become increasingly popular. African reggae has carried on the traditions planted by Bob Marley: the overall result is a lighter and livelier sound. Names to look out for are Lucky Dube, O’Yaba and The Slaves, who are all featured on this excellent compilation.
