Hasidic Reggae: No kidding!

[MADem]

This guy is actually VERY, VERY good. His voice is clear and strong, his band is astounding. Old School reggae from a Hasidic Jew: who knew????? The songs on this site are LIVE, BTW--amazing!

1. Reggae is good rebel music.

Listening to Jimmy Cliff every day, keeps the devil away.

Music may still bring this world together!

3. I used to live on Jam Rock years (many, many years) ago

...and while I do not claim to be a connoisseur of the genre, I know more about it than the average old fart in my age range, having attended many local dances. Yu cannot live there and not feel it, yu see!

This guy is GOOD. He reminds me of raw, early Marley; when he was young, fresh, and not famous round the world.

8. I'm sending the link to my husband

We have listened to Qwalli rap music, which is a trip. This should be equally good.

9. We checked it out

really really cool! And, as musicians, we appreciated the music and how another form of sacredness was infused into it.
