Description

Beginning with a dedication to the recently passed Judah Eskedar Tafari, Devin and Roger host Jamaican artist Anthony B, speaking from Vienna Austria where he's working on new music, for a discussion of racism through the lens of reggae music, some of the stories behind songs on his new album "King In My Castle," and performing "Mr. Officer" a cappella. Other topics include the nature of people and poverty in the world, the need for policy change and much more...“racism is an ignorance….ignorance to racism is why it continues”“people are not born racist, they are taught”“color is like a garden….look at life like a beautiful garden outside, with many colors that are beautiful”“these are not topics about politics….it’s about universal words like “justice” and “discrimination” and “genocide”“nobody is telling you to be controversial…..this is not a controversial topic, this is a HUMAN topic….this is about saving lives”***SHOP PODCLASH MERCH!

Rootfire Presents: The Reggae Podclash's mission is to share the stories of foundational reggae artists, creating a historical record told by the artists themselves, while building bridges to new artists who have followed in their footsteps. Hosted by Devin Morrison and Roger Rivas, two longtime players in the Los Angeles reggae scene who have performed and recorded with Jamaican legends including Alton Ellis, Prince Buster, Leonard “The Ethiopian” Dillon, Wailing Souls, Roy Shirley, Pat Kelly, Prince Jazzbo, Willie Williams, The Cables, Derrick Morgan, Stranger Cole, The Maytones, Soul Syndicate, Ranking Joe, Half Pint and more. Devin is also Rootfire’s Editor and founding member of roots reggae group The Expanders, while Roger is musical director for early reggae revivalists The Aggrolites, and a prolific producer & engineer. As collectors of Jamaican vinyl, Devin and Roger begin each episode by highlighting a “Record of The Week” from their own collections, before a long-form conversation with a special guest.
