You don’t like reggae?

In our febrile polarised times, a question like “why don’t you like reggae?” can be a loaded gun. Reggae is one of those genres that people just “get” – or they don’t. Maybe it gets associated with ill-advised late night spliffs in far-off student days, or beachfront hotels blandly pumping out Bob Marley’s greatest (and overplayed) hits. For me, reggae is a cherished treasure, long overlooked by the music industry and mainstream media. It’s something we should all celebrate for its sunny soulfulness and power to soothe or shift our perspective on the world.

In the late 1970s, reggae artists regularly featured in the UK charts. The songs were more often easy listening, but the genre was far better represented than today. Money In My Pocket by Dennis Brown, OK Fred by Errol Dunkley and Junior Murvin’s swoony falsetto on Police & Thieves thrilled us as youngsters. We couldn’t possibly have known that these were well-established artists and we were getting the iceberg-tips of an underground scene adored by snarling punk rockers. As we bopped our flares off to Janet Kay’s hypnotic Silly Games, what had us tinies missed out on since reggae’s inception?

Although it came to life in the early 1960s, reggae’s roots date back to post-war 1940s and ’50s
