Island Rhythm

06/18/2026

I’ve noticed something over the years.

When someone tells me they love reggae, I usually ask a simple question:

“Who are you listening to?”

The answer isn’t right or wrong. It just tells me which stack they started digging through.

Some people came in through Dirty Heads, Stick Figure, Sublime, and the modern festival scene.

Others came in through The Wailers, Jimmy Cliff, Culture, Max Romeo, Lee Perry, Burning Spear, and the foundation artists.

Most of us started somewhere and kept digging.

So I’m curious…

What were the first three artists that made you fall in love with reggae?

And looking back now, did you stay in that stack or did you dig deeper?

If you want to listen to music, put on a playlist from your couch.

If you want to be part of music, go see a local show.

One keeps the algorithm alive.

The other keeps the culture alive.

Peace be the journey…

Last night was something special.

The Trees of Life put on a hell of a show, the room was full of good people, and the support for The Island Rhythm Foundation was overwhelming. To everyone who came out, donated, bought merch, shared a post, or simply spent the evening with us, thank you.

We are grateful for every dollar raised, but the work is just getting started. We still need support to continue building community projects here at home and in Belize.

If you weren’t able to make it last night and would like to help, please consider making a donation through the fundraiser page.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Peace be the journey.
