Reggae music... welcome to it

Well... this is it.

First ever blog on my first ever site. Who knows how it will turn out... but I hope some little part of my musings about society and music's place in it may encourage you to take some interest in reggae music.

Reggae is my chosen topic of interest. There is so much about this subculture that I had completely overlooked until I probed a little deeper into its diversity and the expectations underlying the aesthetics that I began to understand the music for what it means to those at its core... who planted its roots.

From weed to rhythm, lyrics to happiness, soul to dreadlocks, each aspect of reggae holds a significance to each and every person holding reggae's culture close to their hearts.

In this blog I want to show the world what reggae can be, wants to be and is supposed to be. Each of these is different but often not assumed so.

Enough for now... or I'll have nothing to delve into later.

Keep coming back, the ride will be a fun one.

Chat soon...
