Rocksteady was the rage on the Caribbean island from 1966-69. By 1970, Rocksteady had transformed into Reggae, the popular musical style known and loved around the world today. While everybody has heard the music of Bob Marley, the superstar of Reggae, few people know that it was Rocksteady that developed the buoyant rhythms, prominent bass pulse, soulful vocals and socially conscious lyrics that gave Reggae its power.
In their own words, the Rocksteady singers and musicians take the audience back to the 1960s in Jamaica, a roller-coaster decade during which the island was transformed politically, socially, economically and culturally.
