Summer is here and the time is right... for Dubwise Soundsystem.
Jamaica is a poor island nation slightly smaller than Connecticut in size, with a population similar to the Twin Cities. Yet in the past 50 years it has musically influenced the world, producing some of the best music ever made thru genres like Mento, Ska, Rock Steady, Reggae, Dancehall, and Dub.
This week on the Current Presents we'll delve deep into the the echoey world of dub - deep and dark mostly instrumental versions - remixes of reggae songs from which the entire concept of the remix was born. We'll hear dubs from Lee Scratch Perry, King Tubby, Augustus Pablo, and more, and explore the roots of this powerful style of music.
