Happy Holidays Bovine Ska and Rocksteady Listeners!
For the 22nd straight year we are celebrating the holiday season on the Bovine Ska and Rocksteady with beloved cuts of Jamaican rocksteady, reggae, mento of a Christmas kind. For our theme, given that Jamaica was an English colony at one time, some Jamaican Christmas customs are influenced by England’s traditions of the same holiday. However, these Jamaican traditions have become truly their own and we discussed them on this year’s Bovine Ska as well as playing classic and rare holiday cuts from Alton Ellis, Laurel Aitken, John Holt, and The Heptones to name a few. Please add this show to your playlist, favorite it, or share it wherever people love the holidays and the sounds of a young Jamaica. Merry Christmas! XOXO Generoso and Lily
