Comment:

The Caribbean trade winds that filled the sails of pirates and slavers also relayed music from New Orleans to Jamaica. When the Crescent City's funky R&B hit the tropical island shores, the Creole-Calypso brew mutated into a sultry, trippy, hip-grinding music that matched the climate like a cool bottle of Red Stripe. Poor kids from ghettos so destitute they made Watts look like Monaco "toasted" on lavish mobile sound systems, grew their hair into massive dreadlocks, and many of them dedicated themselves to a life of peace. What started as a trickle with Desmond Dekker's herky-jerk rhythms grew to deluge proportions as The Harder They Come brought reggae style to the big screen and Bob Marley — and dozens of fans, including Eric Clapton — put it on the radio.
