And all will sing Praise
 Denver, Co 9/1/10 - Remember the songs that used to make you Rockaway? Those were the days…..to feel good, dancing to a reggae song.

Although the Easy Star All Stars do indeed have their own original music (Until that Day), they have earned their reputation and immense popularity by essentially playing other people’s music. And they do it very, very well.

Bob Marley was the Johnny Appleseed of Reggae; as he toured the world in the late 70’s, he dropped little seeds of reggae that have sprouted over the years. Katchafire, who in their first trip through Colorado played ReggaeMovement.com’s Denver Reggae Series this past month, is a perfect example of just how strong the global reggae movement has become within the past few years.
