Roots, Healing & i-tal Wisdom: Food, Fire & Foundation — Reggae Hour Salute 2nd Day

Day two of Reggae Hour Salute goes deeper than sound — it moves into sustenance, strength, and self-care. We open with Aaron Silk – “Positive Vibes”, setting the tone for a session rooted in nourishment of mind, body, and spirit. From there, Zai-O-Nya delivers a powerful culinary lesson on i-tal food — not as trend, but as tradition. This episode breaks down how i-tal living aligns with reggae culture, Rastafari principles, and conscious survival in modern times. 🔥 Inside this episode: • What i-tal food truly means (beyond vegan labels) • How food, music, and vibration work together • Why reggae has always been about health & balance • A roots-heavy playlist centered on liberation, identity, and self-respect 🎶 As always, the music carries the message. From Sister Nancy to Dennis Brown, from Iyagrade to Tasha T — this set honors women, elders, and truth-speakers holding the line. 💚 Affiliate Note: This episode is supported by Zeevo Life.
