San Diego Reggae Sound Systems and Culture
Reggae music and culture in San Diego doesn’t stop with the Tribute to the Reggae Legends concert. It continues with the sound systems spinning the tunes, the restaurants creating the Jamaican cuisine and specialty shops providing the culture.
A little history, during the 1950s in Jamaica, a speaker box, amplifier and a record player was the state of the art equipment and the components of the first sound system. Most couldn’t afford a record player instead paying entry fees into something called a dancehall.
