The Originator – Reggae Infused by The Jamaica Band vs Bo Diddley
This album pays tribute to Bo Diddley, often hailed as “The Originator” for his pioneering role in shaping rock and roll’s rhythmic foundations. The Jamaica Band reinterprets his iconic “Bo Diddley beat” through reggae’s syncopated grooves, blending the offbeat skank guitar with Diddley’s trademark percussive drive. The result is a vibrant cross-genre dialogue: reggae’s laid-back pulse meets the raw, hypnotic energy of early rock rhythms. The collaboration highlights how Diddley’s innovations resonate across cultures, showing reggae’s ability to absorb and transform foundational musical patterns while honoring their origin.
