The book works its way through Reggae’s growth and takes us along the ride making accounts of the origins and influence that created the genre. Beginning from its creating in the 1950 Bradley makes the reader nostalgic of a time they’ve never experienced through his use of detail. His explanation of the influence of violence and politics on music in Jamaica, as well as religious influences such as Rastafarianism keeps you entertained. The book is separated into four parts with each part separated into chapters. This organization allows themes and times to be more evident and allows for easier reading of the book. You often find yourself going through chapters longer than you thought you would because the flow is so natural.The typical idea of reggae from a consumer standpoint Bob Marley tends to be an artist that most people know about. Bradley does include a sufficient amount of information on Bob. It does however speak of how Bob had very little influence on the music development at the grassroots level. Instead Bradley adds a lot of information about upcoming artists, groups, and music labels that were around at the same time.This book also has many shortened stories from many Reggae musicians, both big acts like Bob Marley and smaller artists like the Skatalites. At over 500 pages the book is a lot to read, but if you have an interest in history and music then this is definitely a must read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very educating book *by R***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2009* If you are a reggae fan, this is a must read. I was unaware of the re-titling of the book, but that said, it is still a great book. As a white guitar player who joined a roots type reggae band a few years ago, (sadly the band is no more) I thought I would educate myself about the music and history. I did myself right with this book. I found I knew more about the music and culture than many of my "Rasta" friends after reading this. I loved the 50's and 60's chapters regarding Buster, Tubby, and the Skatalites with the great Ernest Ranglin. The DJ culture. Thoroughly enjoyed all the 70's stuff too; hearing about Scratch Perry and the stories of the Black Ark was gold. And the British side with Steel Pulse, and all the influence of Jamaica on the Brit rock scene, etc, etc. The Marley info was good as well, as mostly 1 chapter. No disrespect to Bob, but it is certainly true that Jamaica's music and culture was very rich before him. Nice stories of the early days of the Wailers too. My reggae world is definitely more complete after reading this. Buy the book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I liked what the author stood for *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2018* I liked what the author stood for. He was sharing many interesting facts about the culture of a people through their music and other attributes related to them. By reading the book, one can tell more accurately about the Jamaican struggles of the musicians, and their determination to put into music their living conditions, schooling, friendship, among other factual data. The book is written well! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/7574011-this-is-reggae-music-the-story-of-jamaicas-music](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/7574011-this-is-reggae-music-the-story-of-jamaicas-music) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-07*
