Music Present day reggae bands

[BEEKSc1]

Classics such as Peter Tosh, Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Black Uhuru, the Skatalites, etc are not together or do not perform much today.

I'd recommend The King Blues but they rarely play outside of the UK.

There are a lot of reggae oriented band coming forth; it’s seems like it’s exponentially related to time.

soldiers of jah army – get wiser

Amazon reviewer (on that page)

‘Roots fans need to cop this. Easily the equal to "Peace In A Time Of War," which I thought was a classic. "Get Wiser" shows a more musically mature and diversified SOJA, but they wisely (pun intended) stuck with what they do best -- crafting profound, top-quality, jammin' roots reggae. Plus, any reggae album with local DC legend Go-Go Mickey bangin away has got to be a classic.

Along with Groundation (please check out any and all of their albums), SOJA is pretty much the top of the food chain when it comes to real old-school roots reggae these days. Never thought I'd see the day when the best new roots bands would be coming from the U.S., rather than Jamaica or the UK. But SOJA, Groundation, Midnite, John Browns Body, (the related) 10-Foot Ganja Plant and even Matisyahu -- all either from the US or US based -- are definitely representing. Of course, some of the old guard from JA and UK (Burning Spear, Steel Pulse, etc.) are still holding it down, but the best of the new blood is here.

Anyway, I digress, buy [or find] the album.’

That might be a bit strong, nevertheless

(Swim tried to upload the first song from the first three, and then Downpressor Man of Peter Tosh; they went beyond the limit for uploading them. Their tunes that may be worth checking out.)

Art is created by those of intelligent origin.
Would it exist without us?
So does anyone truly own creative manifestations?

SWIM got the opportunity to experience a reggae band play; they have some tunes of their own and they cover Peter Tosh, Black Uhuru, and of course Marley.
It’s almost indescribable how Jah lives through the music.

It’s like a tearing down of Babylon
