Bass Culture : When Reggae Was King Paperback / softback
by Lloyd (Author and contributor) Bradley
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
The first major account of the history of reggae, black music journalist Lloyd Bradley describes its origins and development in Jamaica, from ska to rock-steady to dub and then to reggae itself, a local music which conquered the world.
There are many extraordinary stories about characters like Prince Buster, King Tubby and Bob Marley.
But this is more than a book of music history: it relates the story of reggae to the whole history of Jamaica, from colonial island to troubled independence, and Jamaicans, from Kingston to London.
