Ten Tunes That Shook Kingston
Published 7 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
The development of the popular Jamaican style is audible in this fun-packed, loosely chronological selection of tunes, moving from a US-style shuffle to ska to rock steady, toasting, dub, and Rastafarian reggae. Programmed by and using the record collection of reggae connoisseur and KPFK radio host Chuck Foster. Produced by Ned Sublette. Consulting scholar and guest programmer: Chuck Foster, who is still on the air 33 years later!
