In "Babylon's Cross-Hairs", Host Henry K takes a close look the history of reggae music and its intertwined relationship with Jamaica’s sociopolitical landscape, focusing on the iconic One Love Peace Concert. Henry K recounts his experiences at Tuff Gong Records, where the essence of reggae was not merely a genre but a movement that encapsulated the struggles and aspirations of a nation. This episode takes a look at historical significance of the One Love Peace Concert held in April 1978, a pivotal moment that exemplified the unification of a fractured Jamaica during a time of political turmoil. We explore the contrasting artistic and ideological expressions of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, two luminaries of reggae music, whose relationship was marked by both collaboration and rivalry. The concert not only showcased Marley's vision of unity but also highlighted Tosh's unyielding commitment to speaking truth to power, as evidenced by his pointed criticisms of the political establishment during the performance...A show that would have severe repercussions for Tosh.
