Dancehall owes its moniker the Jamaican dance halls in which popular Jamaican recordings were played by local sound systems… Musically, older rhythms from the late 1960s were recycled, with Sugar Minott credited as the originator of this trend when he voiced new lyrics over old Studio One rhythms.. Around the same time, producer Don Mais was reworking old rhythms at Channel One Studios using the Roots Radics band.. The Roots Radics would go on to work with Henry “Junjo” Lawes on some of the key early dancehall recordings, including those that established Barrington Levy, Frankie Paul and Junior Reed as major reggae stars..
These cd’s feature new and old artist such as Beenie Man, Buju Banton, Conroy Smith, Vybz Kartel, Lady Saw, Sean Paul, Barrington Levy and many many more..
