Hybrid Reggae
Like most genres of music, Reggae is a hybrid. I was lucky this year to add to my collection the 3-CD edition of Bob Marley and the Wailers's Catch a Fire - an album to listen to! Then, reggae has been hybridized with other genres, for instance from pop or hip-hop cultures. Here are a few tracks from 2001 to 2016 that I find interesting, enjoyable, and very well crafted!
