In an era of increasingly corporate-controlled commercial radio, most DJs know precious little about reggae music, let alone reggae cultural fixtures such as Bobo Ashanti. Unless you live in Jamaica or a select number of metropolitan areas, the odds are good that you cannot find reggae on your radio dial at all. Fortunately, a new solution to this frustrating problem has emerged.

In the last few years, a handful of the truly knowledgeable reggae DJs have leveraged online technology to launch Internet radio stations dedicated to the full diversity of reggae music and culture. No longer restricted by the corporate entities that have taken over terrestrial radio, these online DJs are free to play what they want, when they want. That means that no matter where you are, you can now find a truly diverse array of reggae tracks that never stops.

Bobo Ashanti and Reggae Culture

Best of all, the top Internet radio stations are multimedia outlets in the truest sense. For the first time, you can hear slamming reggae tracks in the same place as you can read about Bobo Ashanti, Marcus Garvey, and a wide range of other cultural institutions. Even thousands of miles from Jamaica, savvy fans can now have the next best thing.

There has never been a better time to leave commercial radio and strike out on your own. The future of reggae radio is in cyberspace. Take the time to find sites that offer the best of everything, and you may be surprised that it took you so long to do so.
