Roots Reggae and Dancehall gives the first insight into the new exciting Reggae Dancehall movement happening all over Africa right now. So far only two Reggae artists from Africa have had real international success: Lucky Dube and Alpha Blondy. A new generation has long arrived, but while many of these artists are superstars at home and regularly at the top of their local charts, this compilation is the first chance for most of them to present their music to an international audience. The compilation comes out on May 15th and features two songs from South Africa namely “African” by H20 feat. Zubz and “Gatyeni” by Teba.  Read on for more info and tracklisting…
