This Share-Your-Chair-Film-Night will give an insight into the diversity within the reggae music scene. The sound of reggae evolved from the Jamaican blues, so called Blues Beat in the 1950's. Nowadays, reggae is a name that holds a great variety of sound and culture. Its influences resonate worldwide through many styles of music, form Pop to Hiphop, Drum'n'bass, Dubstep a.s.o. This program will focus on two contrasting parts of today’s scene; the high BPM fire songs of J.A. and the deep bass, roots core of the U.K.
