Description
When funk exploded globally in the late 60s, Jamaica's finest producers didn't just notice — they absorbed it, twisted it, and made it their own. "Funk The Reggae Beat" on Trojan Records collects the finest results: a deep, irresistible blend of funky reggae from the early 70s featuring Lee 'Scratch' Perry & The Upsetters, Lloyd Charmers, Ken Boothe, Nicky Thomas, Greyhound, The Marvels, and more.
Two of reggae's most celebrated producers — Perry and Charmers — are heavily represented, making this both a dancefloor weapon and a collector's document.
If you love the intersection of funk, soul, and roots reggae, this is essential.
