Forbidden Love Chapter 4: "Beat Street"

 When people think about Country Music, they think of Music Row in Nashville, Punk Rock the lower east in Manhattan and 80’’s metal hair bands it’s the Sunset Strip in LA. Cities that reflect and project, the music created on their turf, in their clubs, garages and studios. When it comes to reggae music it’s the fabled Orange Street in Downtown Kingston, a sacred strip just north of parade that has been accurately referred to as “Beat Street.”   

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