Reggae
from Orchid Blooms Podcast · host Orchid Brown
I grew up with reggae. Born in Jamaica, music wasn’t background noise, it was culture, identity, and communication. Every street had speakers. Every milestone had a soundtrack. In this episode, I explore reggae not just as a genre, but as a cultural carrier, a bridge between Rastafarian philosophy and the global stage. Before it was branded, marketed, and simplified, reggae was resistance. It was spirituality. It was survival. What happens when sacred sound becomes a product? And are we still listening to the message behind the rhythm?
