It’s easy to assume that reggae music is a product of Jamaica alone. The island has produced all of the genre’s biggest names for the past 40 years, and it’s still ground zero when it comes to discovering what’s hot. Reggae music was undoubtedly born in Jamaica, but if you branch out across the Atlantic, you’ll see that for a considerable amount of time during the late ’70s and ’80s, England was an underappreciated mecca for reggae music as well.
