During this week’s New England Roots Reggae show on January 26th I played new music from Jah Spirit, Roots Alley Collective (featuring Black Loyalty), and Highah Seekah. I put a spotlight on New England-based roots and culture, dancehall, and crossover vibes from 1982, through every decade into today. I’m proud to help connect the Caribbean to New England on Oh, Hello Boston.
New show time starting February 2nd
Next week’s show on February 2nd features new music by Roots Alley Collective and Chiney Kiki. We are moving the show up a few hours to 4-6 p.m. What do you think of the new time? Send me and the station a text message to share your feedback. To start the conversation, send “Oh, hello” plus anything additional you’d like to say to 617-855-0781. I’d love to hear from you! You can also reach out by sending an email.
As always, you can catch the replay of New England Roots Reggae on Saturdays, 12-2pm.
