The smooth and funky sound of prime-time Japanese reggae pop in the 1970s and ‘80s fired up an obsession with Jamaican music that persists to the present day.
“Tokyo Riddim 1976-1985” is released on vinyl and as a full album download (no streaming), featuring original artwork by Japanese Fukuoka-based artist Noncheleee, whose cover pays homage to the iconic dancehall album art of Wilfred Limonious.
Released on 1st September, “Tokyo Riddim 1976-1985” is a part of Time Capsule‘s Nippon Series, a loose series of compilations exploring different musical scenes from Japan between the 1960s and 2010s.
