Roots, Rock, Reggae, Souls: A Cultural Exploration with Director, Jessica Shaw

Carry On Friends: The Caribbean American Experience

Send us a text

In this Carry On Friends, Style & Vibes, Reels & Riddims crossover episode Mikelah and I chat with with Jessica Shaw a Jamaica American TV Producer about her upcoming documentary "Roots Rock Reggae Souls" which has received an overwhelming response on social media.
We talk about "Souls" being a catchall term Jamaicans use for music from a variety of genres, including country, R&B, pop, ballads and soft rock. Prepare to be immersed in stories and personal memories of music and the role radio play in Jamaica's eclectic taste in music.
Jessica and are team have a crowdfund to raise the money they need to produce the documentary. Please support the "Roots, Rock, Reggae, Souls" documentary!
