Three VP essential reggae tracks to add to your collection. (Don’t worry. We won’t tell anyone that you didn’t already have them).

“Destiny” by Raging Fyah

It's the sound of the sun – bright and uplifting. Brotherhood in a song, with the kind of melody that generates smiles. This bone-deep reggae hails from back in the 1970s when politics and a natural groove went hand in hand. That's the music of Raging Fyah. The five-piece band from Kingston, Jamaica, makes reggae that skanks and bounces with a new pop roots vibe on their album, “Destiny.”

Reggae Legends - Anthony B (4CD Box Set)

This 4 CD box set collectes four original albums from Reggae Legend Anthony B, in reproduction of the original sleeves, which gives an extensive overview of this ever popular artist.
