Connected as Carter Van Pelt (1643 friends)
I got hooked into reggae as a teenager in the 80s and the passion has never stopped growing. The reason my interest has gone beyond the surface is that I don't separate it from Jamaican culture. The soundsystem is a big part of Jamaican culture, and that's the reason for this event - it gives people a chance to hear reggae the way it should be heard. For those who have never experienced the soundsystem, it's the perfect introduction to Jamaican music.
Many thanks for the promo mix, that was a ridiculous amount of rain last Sunday, still can't get over it. Keep us updated if you're able to reschedule.
