- Dancehall is officially the biggest sound in Jamaica today, after relegating Roots Reggae to second place a few years after the death of Bob Marley. It's also insanely popular in many parts of the globe.
But one place where that variant of reggae has sustained a fanatical followership over the past five decades is Africa. With a steadily growing followership that shows no signs of slowing down. This video traces how the continent's peculiar history has made it the perfect receptor for the conscious messaging and rhythms of Roots Reggae.

This is why it is so sad to hear what happened with Burna Boy allegedly dissing Steel Pulse. We don't need, and will not accept no division. We are one people.
Yes I. I as at Summerjam. What Burna Boy did is totally unacceptable.
@@MsWildberry1 Burna Boy's attitude was really awful. No respect for his elders
@sowetosoundsystem777 I was hoping it was not true.
@ReggaeAppreciationSociety I was hoping it wasn't true. Steel Pulse are a well respected and loved group.
@@MsWildberry1 I even Recorded their entire performance, will upload next week.
Bob Marley, U Roy, Peter Tosh, Burning Spear,and Jimmy Cliff all performed Reggae in Africa. This planted the seed of Roots Reggae and it spread. African Reggae artists like Alpha Blondy, Lucky Dube, Majek Fashek, and Blakk Rasta emerged to carry the musical torch. Reggae has themes of African unity and liberation. In the revolutionary era of the 1970s , Reggae appealed to many Africans. It has remained popular to this day.
Culture also performed in Africa

You didn’t mention WAR ….. Haile Selassie’s speech that Bob Marley turned into a song on the Rastaman Vibration album .
That was my favorite song as a youth.
The Jamacain people always have bin in touch with there roots. Knowing where they coming from.
Remember Lucky Dube !

To answer your question: Because a mother ALWAYS recognised her child
Jamaicans are wannabe black Americans 😂😂😂😂
🇧🇴🇯🇲💯❤️💛💚 One People! One Unity!
Yet Burna Boy and his entourage had the nerve to barricade Steel Pulse backstage.
That is so disrespectful to one of the greatest Roots Reggae bands.
@@rusticization Burna Boy's attitude stinks 🦨
Roots Reggae is foundation 🎵🎶🎼🎤🇯🇲🇬🇩🇹🇹🇬🇾🇺🇸

I love roots reggae and wow thanks for enlightening me on how influential it is and especially in Africa 🙏🏿
Love your channel and content brother. Keep it up 🎶🎶🎶
@@wariowario138 blessings mon 👍
I must confess before I saw your videos, I didn't know how much reggae knowledge is kept in Africa and how broadly. I knew Africans love reggae and the main artists that tour there but I thought it was moee in pockets and in the main starts from Africa. I didn't know the knowledge was that deep and how is a whole new connection between some of the greats with their roots, a new perspective
Roots..🎧🎧🔥😎🎶💯💯📖🎵🙏🙏🎤📖🎧
🙏bless. This time i walking. Love to hear this as I move. Thanks🙏💯
@@Infinitebrandon blessings mon 🙌
@ReggaeAppreciationSociety as I hear , I moving past the middle school here in Paradise, CA. Everything you say so deep, bredder. It's what children should know. Same truth are elders know is the same truth we youth need to know to keep Babylon outside our aura. That's success in life. Real. I'll rewatch and respond👏
Nice one! Love da history.
Reggae music has a significant following in East, West, Central, and South Africa, but its popularity is less pronounced in Arab North Africa, due to cultural and geographical differences
Blessing to all ❤hope they keep save and still watching 👀
@@tb22k Big up mi lioness 🔥
Burna boy, you don’t have any idea what you’ve done
Fire on your Bombooclath
👍🏾

I love the spread and celebration of Afro-Diaspora music/culture to the freedom of African nations.
This is why I find it bizarre that there is recent adherence to dismissing that love towards Afro-Diaspora cultural music.
Bettah must come!
Roots reggae and only Roots. 😊
Roots reggae
Burna Boy should apologize and lets move on together .Steel pulse should be respected Burna .They are true reggae icons .Time to apologize and make up
Burna Boy, read your history about Jamaica and Reggae Music in Africa, all the greatest Jamaican Artist have performed all l over Africa, Remember Bob Marley liberate Zimbabwe, we are the people that talked about Africa than any other people in the world. We wont accept you in Jamaica again.Dont disrespect Steel Pulse again.😢
Because they are smart
