In the previous Reggae Lover episode, we described the foundation of Highlanda Sound. This show chronicles what happened from our first gig to present. In the late '90s, the three young lions that started Highlanda Sound vowed to become one of the most dangerous sound systems that played mostly 45s. They committed to learning and practicing the arts of selecting and juggling in the dancehall arena. They set out to bring a different level of energy to the scene in Atlanta. They prided themselves on being versatile enough to entertain any type of crowd. They accomplished all that and more. Listen to the evolution that led to this podcast.

I had the privilege of interviewing one of the most talented musicians from the United States, E.N Young, for Reggae Lover podcast episode 153 – dedicated to you, the #REGGAELOVER. The California reggae scene has been thriving for some time now and vocalist/producer, E.N Young, formerly of Tribal Seeds, has played a significant role in this success. This classically trained pianist who now plays several instruments including the Melodica fell in love with Jamaican music as a youth in San Diego. He talks candidly about his journey as I sought to learn more about the movement he is pushing in the name of reggae. By the end of our conversation, I definitely saw E.N as an authentic reggae ambassador.

Reggae music is the highest form of spiritual music. Beginning with the 1970s Roots Reggae era, the lyrics, the drums, and the bass provided the perfect vessel for communicating and spreading messages. With the help of Bob Marley and the Wailers, these reggae messages spread across the globe. Exploration of this global phenomenon leads to certain truths. We discuss some history, events, and examples and give personal accounts of our experiences with spirituality, reggae, and religion. Click here to play this episode.
