DJ Sessions: Why Jamaica Remains The Lifeblood Of Reggae
"Reggae Ride" host Howard "Flagga" Duperly says that even though reggae has spread to places like Japan and Germany, many big-name artists still come from Jamaica, where the style originated.
Dupperly speaks with Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson about new reggae music coming out of Jamaica.
Note: We have a Spotify playlist and an Apple Music playlist for our weekly DJ Sessions.
