Various Artists - Portraits of Jamaican MusicDVD
Limiting Jamaican music to reggae would be most unfair. Within a forty-yearperiod, Jamaicans have invented mento, ska, rocksteady, reggae, dub music, dancehall and hardcore dancehall (sometimes known in the West as ragga). Reggae gave its roots to hip hop, rap, trip-hop, techno music and mostdigital musical styles. Take a visual trip down memory lane and relive several great episodes with Johnny Moore and The Skatalites, Toots & The Maytals, Bunny Wailer, Justin Hinds, producers Bunny Lee, Lee Scratch Perry. . . Those privileged moments are complemented with rare T V archive material such as an eighteen-year old Jimmy Cliff dancing the ska in 1962! More than one hour of bonus including, live, Israel Vibration, Toots and the Maytals, Ziggy Marley, U Roy, Yellow Man, Gregory Isaac, Dennis Brown, Jamaican All Stars, Pepper Mento Band, and special moments with Lee Scratch Perry inside Black Art studio!
