En los años 1960 Clement Coxsone y el legendario Studio One grabaron casi la totalidad de la música de reggae, el equivalente de Motown Records en Jamaica. El elenco de artistas de música jamaicana va desde Bob Marley & The Wailers, Burning Spear, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe, Freddie McGregor, Marcia Griffiths, Horace Andy y muchos, muchos más. En estas primeras grabaciones, encontrarás las raíces del Studio One, el primer Jump-Up, Boogie-Woogie y el sonido que los artistas jamaicanos, intentaban emular de sus ídolos americanos de blues, Louis Jordan, Roscoe Gordon o Fats Domino, por los tempranos ritmos Rastafari de Count Ossie, o Toots & The Maytals hasta el entusiasta y alegre de Bob Marley y el Wailers y Skatalites

ENGLISH
In the 1960s Clement 'Sir Coxsone' Dodd's legendary Studio One Records laid down the template for all reggae music, the equivalent of Jamaica's Motown Records. Artists who launched their careers there comprise an A-Z of the Jamaican music scene - Bob Marley and The Wailers, Burning Spear, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe, Freddie McGregor, Marcia Griffiths, Horace Andy and many, many more.

In the early releases featured here you will find the roots of Studio One's unique sound - from the first jump-up, boogie-woogie and shuffle recordings made in Jamaica in the late 1950s, as the artists emulated their American rhythm and blues idols - Louis Jordan, Roscoe Gordon, Fats Domino - through to the early Rastafari rhythms of Count Ossie, the righteous Baptist beat of Toots and the Maytals up to the joyous excitement of Ska with tracks by Studio One's young protegees Bob Marley and The Wailers and the all-mighty Skatalites.
