Reggae & Spirituality
Episode description
Reggae music and spirituality go hand-in-hand. The music has always been a source of storytelling, inspiration and motivation; which contributes to its mass appeal of a global audience. While “Good Vibes Only” is a great hashtag on social media, it’s real foundation is rooted in the admiration of the simplistic, laid back connection Reggae has on the world by the experience people feel listening to Reggae music.
In this episode I’m sharing my personal connection to Reggae on a spiritual level. Inspired by my attendance of Sizzla’s listening session for his upcoming album On a High, where his elderly wisdom and connection to community reminded me of how much his earlier albums inspired me as an adolescent coming into my own spiritual journey. I talk about my love for Reggae’s lyrics and riddims over gospel, connection with Rastafarianism, how I experienced Reggae in Dancehall spaces and more.
I also mention a Strictly Facts episode on Caribbean Religions, make sure you check that out too.
