Reggae in a Babylon
Description
Reggae in a Babylon is the acclaimed documentary by Wolfgang Büld that captured the birth of the British Reggae. This DVD includes several sensational songs. In the late 1970s the young, gifted and black generation of Thatcher's Britain fused the Revolutionary zeal of Punk with their Rastafarian roots to create a new sound system that defined their struggle. Reggae was the savior in their modern 'Babylon' and this acclaimed film charts the birth of urban British Reggae. Groove to the smooth sounds and see rare footage of groups and performers such as Alton Ellis, Aswad, Jimmy Lindsay, Ronnie 'Stepper' McQueen, and members of Steel Pulse. Exclusive interviews with the artists are also featured. This thriving scene born of the union between Jamaican music and spirituality and the rebellious spirit of the times is perfectly captured and celebrated in this hallmark film, beloved by young Britons of the 70s.
