River Roots Reggae show-this Saturday!

It's been a long time I know, but I'm back with another event that will make all you music lovers extremely happy!
Previously I've written blogs on Reggae, which always makes for a great show! This Saturday in downtown Reno is the River Roots Reggae show celebrating the biggest Reggae legend ever, Bob Marley and "the movement of Jah's people". The show runs from 1-5 pm featuring Jahzilla Reggae Shack's DJ "Two Dread," KTHX Val & Kyle, Acoustic Roots Originals, Truckee River Drum Ensemble and is presented by Bantu Spirit and organized by Tracy "Two Dread" Moore. It's at 17 S. Virginia St., on the patio at Dreamers Coffeehouse & E.J.'s Jazz Cafe. The show is FREE so YOU SHOULD GO! It doesn’t matter if Reggae isn't your top favorite, live reggae is always the best. Watch for me in the front taking pictures, I'll see ya there MON!

And Now: Lex's Top 5 Reggae Albums that you MUST check out!


5.) Easy Star All Stars: Radiodread
-I already love Radio head so what better way to celebrate them with a reggae tribute!











4.)Matisyahu: Live at Stubb's
-This album is amazing. His strong dedication to his faith is very clear in his music.












3.)Bob Marley and various: Chant Down Babylon
-I really couldn't decided if this was my favorite or second favorite! This album F-ing Rocks! The take Bob Marley songs, mixing them up with a modern hip hop reggae beat, and include some of the best of the hip hop scene like Erykah Badu, Lauren Hill, Busta Rhymes & Flipmode squad, Krazy Bone, The Roots, Chuck D, and so many more. My personal favorite is "No More Trouble" with Erykah Badu because I adore her! "Turn your lights down low" with Lauren Hill became a successful single. You must hear this cd! Thanks to Vivian Matta for introducing me!



2.)Easy Star All Stars: Dub Side of the Moon
Ok, this album is brilliant. OF course Dark side of the moon is a must in everybody's Cd collection, but this one should be too. It is the entire Dark side of the moon, dub style, with hypnotic beats and Rasta funk. Just like Dark Side of the Moon, you have to listen to the album in its entirety, and it also goes along with The Wizard of Oz like its predecessor. Anyone can love this album, and should!






1.) One Love: The Very Best of Bob Marley & the Wailers
-The album I stole from my dad. A must in anyone's cd collection. Bob Marley is the greatest fool! This features his most popular songs. It's pretty hard to say which are the best songs since all of his songs are great but it features my two personal favorites: The romantic 'Is this love?', and the revolutionary "Buffalo Solider".



Check Out these albums and don't forget Saturday's show! :D
