Reggae
has become the planet’s most significant and ubiquitous music of
resistance. Here are some of the best protest songs ever, mixing decades
and styles and artists all of whom have one common purpose, nothing less
than changing the world.
Reggae
Pulse 5: Protest Songs features the most potent reggae anthems in the
history of Jamaican music, combined with five new recordings of classic
protest songs from the 1960’s. From Bob Marley & The Wailers
"Soul Rebel" and Peter Tosh’s "Get Up, Stand Up" to
reggae-fied versions of John Lennon’s "Working Class Hero" and
Buffalo Springfield’s "For What It’s Worth," this collection
takes a bite out of the new world order.
Reggae
Pulse 5: Protest Songs is a welcome addition to the ever-popular Reggae
Pulse series. The mass appeal of these great tracks makes this a must for
any fan of roots music. All killer, no filler! Eighteen great tracks
with broad appeal to reggae fans, rock fans from the 60’s, and Marley
fans from the 70’s. In this current time of war and protest, this album
will speak to many listeners.
