Fans of Jamaica's best-known musical export, Bob Marley and the Wailers, may be a little disappointed, however, because the documentary includes only a couple of brief performance clips--though, granted, even momentary glimpses of Mr. Music at his peak are better than none at all. This 1977 installment of director Jeremy Marre's 14-part Beats of the Heart series also features early black-and-white footage of Jimmy Cliff and Toots & the Maytals in concert, the Gladiators in the studio, and the Abyssinians, Third World, and Inner Circle in rehearsal. Scenes of Kingston street life are interspersed with the performance footage and interviews to illustrate the narrator's claim that "Reggae music is much more than entertainment in Jamaica today. It's a powerful social force that mirrors the pressures of everyday life, putting them into words and rhythm--describing, revealing, persuading." --Kathleen C. Fennessy Featured are performances and interviews with Bob Marley, Joe Higgs, Jimmy Cliff, Ras Michael an many more. Review: Great Reggae Time Capsule! A must have! - This is a solid piece on roots and rockers reggae from the 70`s that reveals a rare and intimate side of the icons portrayed throughout. What I found most refreshing in the artist interviews was a degree of humility and earnestness that is not likely to be revealed in main stream media. The content and flow is very engaging with excellent video and sound quality. I'm unaware of the constraints or preferences of the writer and director at the time this documentary was made, but it would have great to see a few more of the seminal artists of the time featured in this segment. Regardless, this is a must have for reggae fans and a true time capsule of a critical era in reggae music and the socio-political landscape of Jamaica at that time. Review: Roots Rock Reggae - A beautiful overall view of some of the iconic and groundbreaking artists of the era. Including interviews and Blark Ark footage not found anywhere else . ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 38 Reviews | ## Images ![Roots Rock Reggae - Inside the Jamaican Music Scene - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Jql5pXYOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Reggae Time Capsule!
