This year was the 25th Anniversary of Reggae on the Rocks, and the enthusiastic crowd was a mass of colors, smoke and smiles. There aren’t many opportunities for Reggae fans to gather here in Colorado, but man, did they come out of the woodwork for this one! Jamaican colors were worn by those not from Jamaica, and brightly colored shirts, knit caps and guerilla bush fighter fatigues worn by those who were. Reggae is revolutionary music, a music that talks of pain as well as joy, a music that is also a form of prayer. Reggae is spiritual music.

Reggae and Dub fans of all ages united at Cervantes’ last Friday night to witness the legendary Lee “Scratch” Perry. Unfortunately the audience will have to be content having seen one of the innovators of dub as opposed to having seen a great performance. Those who arrived early checked out the vendors that gave the ballroom a festival like atmosphere and as the crowd began to fill in there was a diverse group of fans. From young hipsters in skinny jeans to aging hippies in aged Grateful Dead tees all walks of life were represented.
