Jamaican music has had a thoroughly disproportionate effect on the rest of the world – an astonishing achievement for a tiny Caribbean island which has a population of just three million people. Spearheaded by the popularity of reggae and the figurehead of Bob Marley, its reverberating rhythms have found a resonance with a diverse international audience. This newly updated edition of Reggae Explosion charts the course of this extraordinary cultural revolution.
The acclaimed team of writer Chris Salewicz and photographer Adrian Boot have brought together 50,000 words of informed, insightful text and over 100 striking images from the ReggaeXplosion Archive to create a history that contains a potent cocktail of drama, turbulence, pride and protest.
From the earliest emergence in the 1950s of the fiercely competitive sound systems fighting sonic battles in downtown Kingston the story of Jamaican music is traced through ska, the birth of reggae, dub, roots reggae and the impact of Bob Marley to the new, harder-edged developments that have emerged in the last twenty years, including dancehall, ragga and jungle.
Unpublished transcripts of interviews with key figures like Lee ‘Scratch” Perry and Prince Buster introduce the authentic voices of reggae history to Reggae Explosion – which blends deeply researched facts and rare images to create not only a sense of the pulse of the music, but also the contrasts of poverty, humour, desperation and joie de vivre that typify both the island of Jamaica and its music.

Reggae Explosion edition by Chris Salewicz Adrian Boot Arts Photography eBooks Reviews
Really well researched book about Jamaican music. Definitely goes beyond Bob Marley and the Wailers but also gives them the credit they deserve. I learned a lot and was constantly taking notes on new albums to check out. Highly recommended.
Fantastic!
This is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the development of Jamaican music and it's impact globally. Easy to read and packed with crucial interviews with many of Jamaica's pioneers in the music field. Also lots of unique photographs to complement the script.
