Bassment Sessions 149: The Story of Women In Reggae (Part Two 1985-2021)

2021-11-01

For Part One, we looked at the evolution and growth, along with some of the key female figures in reggae and for Part Two, I wanted to begin with the next generation of singers and origins of dancehall, slackness, empowerment and shine the spotlight on several singers that helped breakthrough new barriers in the 80s and 90s (J.C. Lodge, Lady Saw) to help the younger artists that have been breaking through around the world of the past decade starting with Hollie Cook, Jah 9, Koffee, Nubiya, Shenseea and more.
