From the pioneering South Pacific flavours of Chaos, Herbs and Dread Lion, to the contemporary sounds of Che Fu, DLT and Fat Freddy's Drop. The impact of Bob Marley's 1979 Western Spring's performance, to the Kaikoura Roots festival and Raglan's Soundsplash; from the early sound system culture of the 12 Tribes of Israel to the studio sciences of digital dub and hip hop production, the reggae history of Aotearoa runs deep.... But why has Reggae made such an impact here? And how does Pacific Reggae differ from the traditional Jamaican sound. NZ's foremost practitioners and fans discuss an evolving spiritual, political, cultural and musical phenomenon.
