In this episode of the Bassment Sessions I’m going to focus on Women In Reggae 1964-1982 - from Millie Small’s breakout hit up to Rita Marley's 1982 hit One Draw.
It’s an impossible task to showcase the true scope and depth fully required to highlight six decades of women in reggae but I hope to help you discover some of the vital women who helped pave the way for the wonderful new artists continuing and evolving the genre and pushing the music ever forward.
SPECIAL NOTE
I want to thank Joe Malignaggi , the music coordinator for 3CR Radio Australia, a station that is carrys the Bassment Sessions, for his suggestion on doing this show - what a great idea.
