King Tubby : The Sonic Scientist They Tried to Silence
King Tubby – Dub Pioneer & Reggae Sonic Scientist They Tried to Silence plunges you into the heart of Caribbean history and black history, unearthing the untold truths behind the quiet Kingston engineer who turned Jamaican music on its head. From his homemade studio, King Tubby weaponized bass and silence, shaping the reggae and dancehall soundscape that would later inspire legends from Lee “Scratch” Perry to today’s giants like Vybz Kartel.
As we retrace Tubby’s journey—through the political turbulence of 1970s Jamaica, the cultural resilience of maroon communities, and the global spread of Caribbean music—you’ll hear from history experts, musicians, and travel experts who followed the sonic breadcrumbs he left behind. We’ll explore how colonial scars, cultural history, and the wider Caribbean diaspora shaped his art, and ask why the 1989 killing that ended his life remains unsolved.
If you crave history stories that blend electrifying music with investigative journalism—spanning Kingston, Trinidad and Tobaygo, Angola, and the greater Caribbean region—hit play. Because King Tubby’s echo still rumbles through every remix, every festival, every beat that makes your chest vibrate.
