This 6 episode podcast series Presented by Henry K and Rootsland delves into the rich history and evolution of reggae, tracing the path from it’s roots in Kingston, Jamaica to the current thriving “CaliRoots” scene in California. Each episode will focus on a different decade, starting with the 70’s and how a hippy movement disgruntled about the way rock and roll sold out, embraced this refreshing and authentic Island sound. The series will break down the key artists, events, and cultural influences that shaped reggae’s progression over time and why California became such fertile ground for the Island sound
On the Season 1 finale of Kingston to Cali "One Big Family" Caliroots has grown to be a dominant sub genre of Reggae because they built their brand on the successes and accomplishments of the Jamaican music industry. The question is will Caliroots learn from the Jamaican music industry's mistakes? or repeat them?

"On the Beach"
Tonight on Kingston to Cali, We head back to 1968, and it makes total sense that a show which traces the Journey of Reggae from Kingston to Cali, has an Episode titled "On the Beach," a song not only central to the growth of Reggae in California, but can be argued is one of the most important songs of the 20th Century. We also choose the Winner of our Caliroots Facebook contest. Legends of Reggae | Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RootslandPodcast)

"One Step Beyond"
On Episode 2 of Kingston to Cali, "One Step Beyond" we explore the legacy of Cali’s early reggae festivals and was how they evolved from "concerts" to "communities." Family friendly events, exposing new generations to roots reggae's mellow uplifting vibes. However, kids like to rebel against their parents, and as the 90’s approached Generation X proved to be no different. This "one drop" roots reggae...well it was fine for Mom and Dad but didn't go far enough to satisfy the unbridled energy of these kids...they wanted to go "One Step Beyond."

"The Harder they Come"
On the debut Episode of Rootsland's "Kingston to Cali" Host Henry K dials things back to 1973 a breakout year for Reggae Music, with the release of Jimmy Cliff's cult classic "The Harder they Come"and Bob Marley's first album on Island Records, "Catch A Fire." Reggae had an immediate global impact, but there was one super fan out in California that took his love for reggae to the next level, he also took his band, his friends, and his fans.
