Dawn heralds
reggae traditionsThe Healing Dance:
By Jesse Dawn and the Kind (World Changing Records)BIG Island resident Jesse Dawn and his band epitomize the rural roots-reggae music of the neighbor islands. They play basic reggae rather than Jawaiian or local reggae lite, and uphold the Jamaican rastafari tradition of addressing specific political issues as well as celebrating the general themes of unity and "one love."
Dawn calls for the legalization of marijuana, opposition to irradiated produce programs, and an end to "greedy little minds" in local government. "Green is the Future" invites reggae fans to "beat Babylon" by voting "Green" on election day.
