Kahlil Wonda on ‘The Finest Years’ of Reggae Music
6The period beginning in the 1960’s on up through the 1980’s is what I refer to as The Finest Years of reggae music. I sometimes include also the 1990’s. The Finest Years includes many styles of the genre, from very grass-roots productions such as those of Studio One in Jamaica and Treasure Isle in the UK to the computerized creations of Jammy’s and Digital B in the 80’s and early 90’s. These are some of my favorite selections as a consumer and Disc Jockey alike. I pride myself as a collector and will never, ever, ever part with my musical treasure – original 12″, 10″, and 7″ records.
