Rocksteady Bluebeat

When he was asked the origin of his music and how it got its name, Bob Marley claimed it came from the Spanish word "Regi" meaning "The King's Music".

While reggae may have meant the music of kings, reggae has spread via the common people, borrowing the rhythms and the instruments of the down-trodden political and social classes from Jamaica, outwards through the Caribbean, the Americas, and around the world.

Tune in every Saturday morning to listen to two hours of reggae on "RockSteady BlueBeat". Whether to get up for a cause, or stand up to dance, reggae music will make you move.
