David Rodigan on BBC Radio 2 2011-08-04 part 4

David Rodigan showcases his love for all types of reggae music, presenting an hour of classic roots and reggae music from the 60s to the present day. Playing the best in reggae, roots, ska and rocksteady, each song will be linked by Rodigan’s encyclopaedic knowledge and warm reflective stories from reggae music’s history. There will also be guests and live sessions from classic artists. This week, David looks back to the summer of 1976, when a new British reggae band had just been signed to a major British label, Island Records. They were Aswad, the young lions of Ladbroke Grove, whose debut single Back to Africa rocketed to the top of the British reggae charts. Hear it again on Radio 2 with Rodigan, along with music from the 60s Jamaican queen of rocksteady Phyllis Dillon, and Desmond Dekker’s first UK chart-topper.”

  1. This is another great show, Thomas! 🙂

    Reggae is perfect for this time of year. And, hearing some of the older tunes is an education in itself.

    Do you have “Part 2” of the series available?
