THE CROWN PRINCE OF REGGAE - DENNIS BROWN
Today is 1 February and that means it is Reggae Month. In 2008 the nation of Jamaica, the home of Reggae, created this annual event to acknowledge and celebrate its wonderful music culture. The celebration has become a major pilgrimage for Reggae lovers from all over the world.
Week one of Reggae Month is traditionally given over to celebrating the life of Mr Dennis Brown, one of Reggae's finest singers who sadly passed away in 1999. Dubbed the Crown Prince of Reggae by Bob Marley, Dennis Brown's music is a great place to start if you want to dip your toe into the wonderful world of Reggae music. Any visitor to The Peppermint Lounge will know that Reggae can be heard regularly from the house sound system.
Here's one of Dennis Brown's big hits to enjoy.
Until next time - peace and love.
