If like me you are a Barrington levy fan watching this is a must, I was brought up with his music from around 1979 , a great interview by David Rodigan and you can see he is in his element, @SumOne I think you might like this, Rodigan’s reaction at 25.14 to  Here I Come, says it all 

I also can’t not put this one up 

 

 

That's a good interview. I'm a big fan of Barrington

Was listening to  Desi Roots last night, the album , Doing It Right 1980, which has one of my favourite tracks on Go Deh Right 

and then I came across the song -Once Again, which I’d forgotten about, it’s a great song and I couldn’t help wondering if this is the original song or if it’s a cover of another, @Mykesbass perhaps you might know? This is the song

Writing credit is Young, and it looks like that is Desi Roots surname, so very probably an original. Nice songwriter!

Continuing the reggae round the world, how about some dancehall from Japan, I came across this by chance while looking for another Japanese bass player

Something a little different for the thread, not a specific track, but the marvellous Julia Hofer playing through some classic reggae grooves.
