This is the week of June 2nd, 2008Digging our roots this week. Start off with classic roots reggae jams from Burning Spear, Don Carlos, Bob Marley, The Mighty Diamonds and The Meditations. Then we go north to New Orleans (whose music was one of the inspirations for reggae). We’re in the streets of New Orleans with the Lil’ Rascals Brass Band, New Birth Brass Band, Olympia Brass Band and drummer Smokey Johnson. Then we head deep south to Brazil for studio, live and remix cuts from young vocalist Céu who mixes a number of root musics into a tasty contemporary gumbo. Enjoy to the max.
