Exodus Chapter 5: "Loyal Soldierz"

In the Spring of 1991, Henry drives from Kingston to Ochos Rios in order to attend a concert hosted by Sister Rita Marley commemorating the 10th Anniversary of Bob Malrey's passing. For the Kush Danai, the Rasta in the passenger seat the only thing on his mind was the murder of his friend Peter Tosh. Henry tries to keep the conversation upbeat, but Kush is concerned and justifiably so... reggae music and it's artistes are under assault.

Rootsland is produced by Henry K Productions Inc. in association with Voice Boxx Studios in Kingston, Jamaica.

Introduction by:  Michelle "Kim" Yamaguchi

Guest Vocals by:  Patrick "Curly Loxx" Gaynor Adam "Teacha" Barnes

About the Podcast

Rootsland "Stories that are Music to your ears"
A podcast about reggae, resistance, and what endures
Rootsland is a long-form narrative audio documentary created and hosted by Henry K. Set against the backdrop of Jamaica and its music culture, the series blends memoir, documentary storytelling, history, and lived experience to explore friendship, ambition, faith, loss, identity, and the moments that change our lives. Drawing on nearly three decades living and working in Jamaica, Henry K takes listeners beyond the headlines and into the lives of artists, dreamers, hustlers, visionaries, and everyday people whose paths intersect in unexpected ways. While reggae often provides the soundtrack, Rootsland is ultimately about people, memory, culture, and the search for meaning in a changing world. Broadcasting from the intersection of word, sound, and power, these are stories about the roads we choose, the people who shape us, and what remains long after the music fades.
