In this episode of the Bassment Sessions I’m going to focus on Women In Reggae 1964-1982 - from Millie Small’s breakout hit up to Rita Marley‘s 1982 hit One Draw.
It’s an impossible task to showcase the true scope and depth fully required to highlight six decades of women in reggae but I hope to help you discover some of the vital women who helped pave the way for the wonderful new artists continuing and evolving the genre and pushing the music ever forward.
This episode includes music from Millie Smalls, Sister Nancy, Nora Rean, Marcia Griffiths, Judy Mowatt, Janey Kay, and more.
