Catch a fire

Interview, Sept, 2007 by Albert Watson

Long celebrated as the anthem of international good vibrations, Rasta music has often brought its eclectic style to fashion. From roots-rock reggae to dub and dancehall, the sounds of Jamaica have influenced legions of would-be urban revolutionaries and practitioners of "One Love."
