argonaut sounds documentaries: #3 dancehall
Yagayo mi don dadda, this week on Argonaut Sounds we'll be playing the third in our series of documentaries on Jamaican music, looking at the rise of dancehall.
Towards the end of the 70s the dancehalls in Jamaica began to demand a change in the beat, and roots reggae died out to be replaced by a new breed of DJs. Dancehall arrived in all its glory, and has dominated Jamaican music ever since. We'll take a ride from the early days of Yellowman and co., up to the latest ragga and new roots beats.
