Tonight on Kingston to Cali, We head back to 1968, and it makes total sense that a show which traces the Journey of Reggae from Kingston to Cali, has an Episode titled "On the Beach," a song not only central to the growth of Reggae in California, but can be argued is one of the most important songs of the 20th Century. We also choose the Winner of our Caliroots Facebook contest. Legends of Reggae | Facebook

On Episode 2 of Kingston to Cali, "One Step Beyond" we explore the legacy of Cali’s early reggae festivals and how they evolved from "concerts" to "communities." Family friendly events, exposing new generations to roots reggae's mellow uplifting vibes. However, kids like to rebel against their parents, and as the 90’s approached Generation X proved to be no different. This "one drop" roots reggae...well it was fine for Mom and Dad but didn't go far enough to satisfy the unbridled energy of these kids...they wanted to go "One Step Beyond."

On the debut Episode of Rootsland's "Kingston to Cali" Host Henry K meticulously details the significance of 1973, a landmark year that saw the release of 'The Harder They Come', a film that not only popularized reggae but also painted a vivid picture of the socio-economic struggles in Jamaica. The episode highlights how this film and its soundtrack, featuring legendary artists, helped to illuminate the realities of life in Jamaica, bringing awareness to issues of social justice and the human condition.
The narrative takes a deeper dive into the symbiotic relationship between reggae and the American counterculture, particularly as it relates to the Grateful Dead and their followers. Henry discusses how reggae’s messages of unity and resistance found a welcoming audience among California’s hippie community, who were disillusioned by the commercialization of rock music.
