The 'Reggae Revival' was alive and well at Rototom Sunsplash's Reggae University.
Celebrating its 20th staging in Benicassim, Spain, the Rototom Sunsplash festival is one of the largest platforms in the world for reggaemusic.
Speaking with The Gleaner, Ellen Koehlings, an organiser of the Reggae University's sessions and an editor of the Germany-basedRIDDIM Magazine, told of the revival's presence at the festival.
Among the artistes affiliated with the 'Reggae Revival' are Protoje, Kabaka Pyramid, Chronixx and Jah9.
Most exciting
"In general, the Reggae Revival is perceived as the most exciting thing happening in reggae music right now, because all these artistes - and there are many more - show a great amount of talent and creativity in expressing positive thoughts. They are very much aware of their roots, be it culturally or musically. Instead of competing with each other they display an unusually strong sense of unity, and instead of following one formula they display a rich musical diversity. Many compare this time in reggae music to the '70's golden era of roots reggae," said Koehlings. read more....
