Reggae music. There's the slow, sinuous, sensual type favored by Marley, Tosh, Gregory Isaacs which is about half this film.
Then there's the modern type-dancehall... hyperkinetic, intense, loud, usually shouted by some motor-mouthed rabble rouser trying desperately to get people on their feet and dancing.
I love the old style and celebrate its entry into the musical canon. For the new style I'm glad I had a mute button ready.
This film is interspersed with interviews of the various practitioners and it was fun watching some of these folks trying to formulate thoughts through a druggy fog.
