Description

On the birthday of Reggae Legend Bob Marley... Rootsland is excited to debut the emotionally charged opener for Season 7  "Crucifixion of the Ghetto."  Kingston was always hot, by the new millennium it was red hot, an already record setting murder rate was on the rise, and no person or place was off limits.  On the season prologue "Ghetto People Song," Henry K explains why every ghetto in the world is the same, as he takes us on a very personal journey from the origins of the first Ghettos in  Europe to our modern day slums.      Produced by Henry K in association with Voice Boxx Studio Red Hills, Jamaica Home | ROOTSLAND Reggae Music, Podcast & Merchandise "Wear Your Culture" Rootsland is proud to partner with Osiris Media "the leading storyteller in music." Welcome to Osiris Media - Osiris - The leading storyteller in music. cover photo by Brian Jahn Brian Jahn (@brianjahnphoto) • Instagram photos and videos

Presented by Henry K, Rootsland is a new podcast series that explores the story of two friends who take a musical and spiritual journey from the suburbs of Long Island to the streets of Kingston, Jamaica. Narrated by the man himself, Henry “K” Karyo, Rootsland tells musical stories of landscapes that span styles and genres, and transport the listeners to exotic locations. The story follows Henry, a disillusioned justice major at American University, and Brian, an aspiring singer, as they navigate the world of reggae music, from label to location.
