Deep Roots Music

Reggae: Deep Roots Music, closely based on the Channel 4 TV series, explores the extraordinary origins of reggae in the music and dance of the early Jamaican slaves, and the isolationist Maroon culture that maintained many African traditions intact in the face of colonialism. It examines the upsurge in Black consciousness that grew from the teachings of Marcus Garvey and found expression after Jamaican Independence in the Rastafarian religion and Reggae music.
