editorial
Welcome to the latest issue, and the final edition of 2018, of the Global Reggae Charts magazine!
This month we tip our proverbial hats to one of the legends of the genre, Dennis Brown, whose
work has been re-contextualized by plenty of talented guests on “King Jammy Presents: Dennis
Brown – Tracks Of Life”; topping the album charts made for an easy decision. We also feature an
exclusive conversation with General Zooz of the Reggae Rajahs, who shares a business-minded
perspective on the role the group’s 10,000 Lions Sound System and Goa Sunsplash festival have
played in the expansion of reggae across India. As always, we also hear from our voters: Hanover,
Germany, duo Zoë and P-Nut of the monthly radio show “Wha Gwaan,” plus Charli Urrego from
Bogotá, Colombia, who is the founder and host of the “Legado Africano” radio show.
Moving on to the charts, other notable releases on the album side include Protoje, down two spots
at #3, before Beres Hammond’s “Never Ending” debuts at #4. Groundation and Agent Sasco both
remain in the top ten for the second month, while Manudigital’s “Bass Attack” brings a retro digital
style to #8. Further debuts come from the supergroup Kingston All Stars, the heavyweight force
of Alpha Steppa & Nai-Jah, and the latest from the UK group Capital Letters featuring JB. Black
Uruhu climbed seven spots to #12, Dubmatix’s “King Size Dub Special” reentered at #19, and Etana’s
“Reggae” Forever at #15 has now charted for an impressive eight months!
Beres Hammond’s “I’m Alive” leads the singles chart, with Lila Iké’s “Second Chance” and the
irrepressible Koffee’s “Raggamuffin” rounding out the top three. Two Chronixx collabs come next,
with Alborosie and Protoje, respectively; Mortimer also makes an impact with “Careful” debuting
at #9. Perennial act Third World’s new “Loving You Is Easy” is #11, just ahead of Bulby York, who fell
slightly to #12. Macka B – “Bad To Your Own” – and Tarrus Riley – “Guess Who” – also show up in
the latter half. Overall, Alborosie edges out Protoje and Beres Hammond with three tracks on the
chart to their two apiece.
The “Peng Peng Riddim” remains atop the riddim charts for the second month, with the reentry of
the “Wizzle Riddim” runner-up. Giddimani maintains a presence at #3, and Green Lion Crew contributes
the only new listing, the “Militant Step Riddim” at #4, just ahead of the “Artibella Riddim.”
It’s definitely my honor and pleasure to be taking over writing this opening editorial, just as it has
been to edit the magazine since the sixth issue. I hope my increased role goes as seamlessly as
possible, and I look forward to welcoming you to many issues to come! Since the Global Reggae
Charts magazine is ultimately about providing reggae radio hosts and DJs a platform to share their
taste-making voices, I want to thank all of our voters for their continued effort and support – we
truly couldn’t do this without you.
All the best from Colorado, USA,
Anderson

INTERVIEW
Two voters we feature this month. First we have Zoë
and P-Nut, who presents their show “Wha Gwaan -
Reggae & Dancehall” at radio Leinehertz 106.5 in
Hanover, Germany.
Global Reggae Charts: Please introduce yourself
and your radio show to our readers!
Thorben & Zoë: We are Zoë and P-Nut from Sound
System Frontward International, and have been
doing the monthly radio show “Wha Gwaan -
Reggae & Dancehall” broadcast by Radio Leinhertz
106.5 since 2009 from Hanover (Germany). We shall
soon celebrate the 10th anniversary of our show.
GRC: What made you fall in love with reggae?
Zoë: I have known reggae since childhood, because
my parents had some records of Jimmy Cliff and
Bob Marley at home. Later, a friend gave me a tape
recording of Steel Pulse, and thus I started listening
to more and more reggae. But I really got hooked by
the first parties I went to - dancehall by Mr. Vegas,
Beenie Man, Lady Saw …
Thorben: I grew up with hip hop. I first heard reggae
at the beginning of the nineties, when I gave a friend
a reggae record as a birthday present. Subsequently,
my friends and I kept recording tapes. I also travelled
to German cities, which had large record stores to
sample and buy discs, as there was no internet then.
What I particularly like about reggae is that it carries
a positive message.
GRC: How did you get into radio and what is your
motivation?
Thorben: I made a radio show about reggae as early
as 1998. I always wanted to pass on the positive
vibes of the music, present new songs, and share
with others the pleasure this gave me. I also enjoy
discovering and supporting new artists.
Zoë: I was intrigued by the medium of radio, the
peek behind the curtains. Besides which, I like to
learn new things. But I never thought that we would
stay for so long.
GRC: What spectrum of music do you play in your
show and which artists have you found most inspiring
lately?
Zoë: We try to include all genres belonging to
reggae in our show, ranging from ska to dancehall.
We place particular emphasis on presenting current
songs and new releases from all over the world.
Though we focus on the German and European reggae
scenes, we never let Jamaica out of our sights.
We also try to provide background information about
the music, and we conduct interesting interviews
with the artists. My favorite artists at the moment
are Shenseea, Razor B, and Javada.
Thorben: Of course we also give our listeners information
and tips on and about interesting events.
At present, I am fascinated by the new generation of
Jamaican women such as Aza Lineage, Lila Iké, and
Koffee. But Germany also has new artists such as
Rico, Jahfro, CARL, and the Berlin Boom Orchestra.

BUSINESS
INSIGHT
global reggae charts
insight
INTERVIEW
AM: Related, how did you know the time was right
to expand beyond the Reggae Rajahs brand?
This month we feature some business insights – on developing
multiple brands, reaching the right audience, and promoting
reggae far from Jamaica – courtesy of General Zooz,
a member of leading Indian reggae act the Reggae Rajahs.
Over the past few years, the Rajahs have created a hand-built
sound system and organized an increasingly-popular reggae
festival.
GZ: Well, I don’t really see it as expanding beyond
the Reggae Rajahs brand, but more as an extension
of the Reggae Rajahs brand. Reggae Rajahs started
as a group of reggae music lovers in India committed
to playing and spreading reggae around the country.
Both the sound system and Goa Sunsplash are tools
that enable us to further this mission.
Anderson Muth: You’re nearing your tenth anniversary
as the Reggae Rajahs, a journey that includes
touring abroad and domestically. Two projects – the
10,000 Lions Sound System and Goa Sunsplash festival
– both emerged in 2016, with the festival’s fourth
incarnation scheduled for the 12th and 13th of January,
2019. How did
you know the time
was right to create
a sound system and
develop a festival?
Which came first, and
what is the relationship
between the two?
AM: What are the advantages of having multiple
overlapping brands within India’s reggae market?
GZ: Well I guess the biggest advantage is that these
brands are helping us create our own scene. Clubs
and bars in India had a problem with roots reggae
General Zooz: Well,
both had been in
the works for a long
time. It so happened
that everything came
together in those few
months (late 2015/
early 2016) and we
were able to complete
building the sound
and host the first
edition of the festival
within days of each other. I would say 10,000 Lions
Sound System and Goa Sunsplash are intrinsically
linked. Both are community projects with a crossover
in terms of team members, and 10,000 Lions
has always had its own stage at Goa Sunsplash (in
2016 it was the only stage).
because it was too slow. Now, with 10,000 Lions
Sound System, the true power of roots music is
there for everyone to see, to the point where the
sound system now has a stage at one of the most
popular festivals in India, VH1 Supersonic. Venues
and festivals in India were not booking our reggae

talent regularly, so we decided to start Goa Sunsplash,
a festival to represent all these people who
didn’t have a space in the scene earlier. Reggae
music is such a niche genre in India that by having
different projects, we are able to combine them to
propel this movement further.
changed the game as they have been able to dictate
what music they play and what message the audience
gets from the music outside of a club setting.
The next step really is creating Indian reggae with
singers and producers mixing Indian languages and
sounds into their music.
AM: What cultural and historical realities in India,
and specifically Goa, have helped your success?
GZ: Well, Goa has historically been a place where
alternative culture has thrived in India, so it was always
going to make sense as a hub of reggae music
in the country. I would say that a lot of
Reggae Rajahs success in India has come because
of the party energy that dancehall music carries.
Indians love to dance, so it’s natural that dancehall
would be easy to digest for the masses. However,
the deeper messages in reggae music – for example
fighting for justice and equal rights or reaching
out to a higher power through a state of meditation
– are aspects of reggae that are still beginning
to catch on in India. I think both these message are
very relevant to Indians and once we find the right
way to hit them with it, there will be no stopping
reggae.
AM: In what ways do you reach the domestic audience,
and why does the music of Jamaica resonate
with them? Can you explain more about the realities
of promoting reggae in India?
AM: Regarding festival programming, what has
been your approach towards booking – to curate a
truly special event? What unique benefits does Goa
provide in contrast to the booking challenges of distance
and accessibility?
GZ: Promoting reggae in India is tough work. Most
people don’t know much about Jamaica except
for [famed cricketer] Chris Gayle and Bob Marley.
Reggae Rajahs have used the party elements in the
music to some success over the last few years. The
dancehall energy has been well received at clubs and
festivals in India. There is also a growing dance scene
with dancehall crews and dancers popping up across
the country. In terms of roots reggae, the sheer
power of 10,000 Lions Sound and Bass Foundation
Roots Sound [based out of New Delhi] have really
GZ: Contrary to popular belief (amongst non-reggae
listeners at least), reggae music is a vast genre that
includes so many different sub-genres. Personally,
I love all styles of reggae so I wanted the festival
programming to reflect this. Everyone should be able
to find what they want at Goa Sunsplash. We have
been lucky to have had the support of many international
singers, bands, DJs, and producers who come
to Goa at their own expense to be a part of this movement.
Being a reggae festival in India, in Goa too,
has its benefits!

AM: There’s nearly a month of official pre-party
events held across India prior to Goa Sunsplash.
What are the goals of these?
GZ: The pre-parties are essential to give us visibility.
In previous years, we have used pre-parties to help
increase awareness about the festival across India
and especially in Goa. This year, we have organized
pre-parties in London and Paris as well. Goa Sunsplash
is a destination festival where people come
from all over the world to attend and perform. It is
vital for us that our outreach continues to expand so
more and more people across the globe get to know
that we are flying the reggae colors in India!
AM: What were your key considerations when booking
this year’s festival?
GZ: There were many things to consider when
booking for this year’s festival. Firstly, it was vital for
me to involve more Jamaicans in our programming.
Due to our proximity to Europe/ UK, it has historically
been easier for us to bring down acts from those
countries. However, I feel that the Caribbean energy
is quite different and we are very excited to have
Anthony B, ZJ Liquid, and Craig Black Eagle representing
Jamaican culture at the festival this year.
Sound system and live reggae bands remain an
important aspect of the festival, so we have invited
Channel One Sound System, and also have House of
Riddim, Forelock & Arawak, and Blackbird Hum performing.
Finally, I wanted to open up the festival a bit
in terms of the audience we attract too, so we have
booked DubFX to give us some crossover appeal.

Dennis Brown
& King Jammy
Dennis Brown is one of the most important names in reggae history,
often times referred to as “The Crown Prince of Reggae”.
Nearly 20 years after his death he tops the album charts again with
his King Jammy reworked album “Tracks of Life”. This definitely
makes him a proper choice for the artist of the month feature.

INTERVIEW
The second voter we feature is Charli Urrego from
Colombia. He presents his show “Legado Africano” at
UPTC Radio 104.1 FM in Tunya, Boyacá.
Global Reggae Charts: Please introduce yourself
and your radio show to our readers!
Charli Urrego: High vibrations for all the sisters
and brothers who read the GRC, my name is Charli
Urrego from Bogotá, Colombia. I’m the founding
member, producer, and DJ of Legado Africano
”Reggae Beat“ (African Legacy) – a radio show that
has aired for 11 years on UPTC Radio 104.1 FM from
the city of Tunja, Boyacá – a space dedicated to
sharing and promoting the knowledge and history
of Africa through the sounds mainly of the island of
Jamaica, as well as other sounds of the Caribbean
and African roots such as blues, jazz, and Afro-Latina,
and also the promotion of national and international
reggae groups.
GRC: What made you fall in love with reggae?
CU: It all started in 2002, when friends from my
neighborhood and school began to listen rap, punk,
and less-commercial music; I remember listening to
groups like Wu-Tang Clan, Born Jamericans, Gotas
de Rap, or even Vico C, little by little the first Alpha
Blondy cassette, then UB40. One day Peter Tosh,
Bunny Wailer, and Robert N. Marley arrived, with
“Get Up Stand Up,” “Stir It Up,” “Buffalo Soldier”,
and “One Love” part of the first reggae songs that I
heard. It was an indescribable connection that I keep
learning from every day, his message and sounds
were what brought me closer not only to want to listen
to more reggae, but also to look at it as a path of
life, with hope, joy, and a lot of gratitude. Today, I’m
sure that the reggae is an epidemic connection that
can continue to improve the whole world.
GRC: Could you give a little insight on the Colombian
and South American reggae scenes?
CU: Reggae in Colombia has grown tremendously
and will continue to do so. In 2004, I heard the
first bands from the country‘s central area, such as
Alerta Kamarada, 116 Roots, Nawal, Kilimanjahro,
Ras Jahonnan, CRC, Artefacto, and Orador MDC – the
ones that by now I can still remember; 14 years later
there are more than 200 musical groups, cultural
collectives, DJs, singers, dancers, who have found
themselves in reggae, dancehall, dub, ska, and even
blues – an important link to build their lives around
these urban movements. South America already has
an important reggae festival, the Jamming Festival
in Bogotá, Colombia, and I must emphasize a very
significant connection that emerged in previous
versions of Rototom Sunsplash when they opened
the doors to Latin artists with the Rototom Latino
Contest: in this process that lasted close to two or
three years we met many groups from every Latin
country. Argentina has the highest number of active
reggae bands, followed by Colombia now, Chile,
Uruguay, Venezuela, and Peru. Tiano Bless and Royal
Rudes performed in Bennicasin, Spain, a few

years ago during the Rototom. I can’t forget another
great protagonist in Colombia of the sound system
culture, El Gran Latido, the first handcrafted sound
system of the capital city.
GRC: How did you get into radio and what is your
motivation?
CU: In 2004, everything started at school – there
was a radio station and I played reggae during class
recesses every day. I was also a DJ at Roots Bar in
Bogotá. Years later, I started college studies in Tunja
and there I got to UPTC Radio 104.1 FM, the college
radio station and one of the most important radio
stations in the city. As a student, I presented a
project to open a space that would spread the
rhythms of the Caribbean, the islands and the African
continent and that’s when Legado Africano was
born. We went on air in October 2007, on Mondays at
9:00 pm, COT. And that’s when we began our night
date with our listeners; now 10 years later, it is still
a joy to go every night to share music with positive,
cheerful messages that keep the voice of many
people of the world. Music motivates me, the people
who listen to Legado Africano and all those we have
met during this time. Kathleen Murrain, producer of
the section “Blues Time” as part of our show, and
Mahavisnu Bonza and Andrés Sanchez, who were
the first co-founders, also have an important role in
the maintainance and production of the show.
GRC: What spectrum of music do you play in your
show, and which artists have you found most inspiring
lately?
CU: We have played from reggae roots classics, like
Robert N. Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Toots &
the Maytals, and Israel Vibrations, going through the
base of rocksteady and dub just talking about island
rhythms. We promote reggae, new songs and artists
from local groups, Latin America, and all continents
where artists are influenced by Afro-descendant
rhythms; and thanks to GRC, our list of artists has
been greatly enriched. Also connected with Pirata
