Dancehall Culture

Came across this book the other day about the rise of Dancehall culture. Been about for a while but good read none the less.

'Beth Lesser's definitive new study of the 1980s Jamaican Dancehall scene features hundreds of exclusive photographs and accompanying text that captures a vibrant, globally influential and yet rarely documented culture that has been mixing music, fashion and lifestyle with aplomb since its inception. With unprecedented access to the incredibly vibrant music scene during this period, Beth Lesser’s photographs and text are a unique way in to a previously hidden culture.'

Available from the Soul Jazz website.


There's an interesting section about the rise of the scene in the UK and artists such as Smiley Culture and Papi Levi. Reminded me of a few classics....
