This article provides a glimpse into the shift in Reggae from a minor genre to going mainstream. Could Reggae and Jamaica be having an affair?


Go to most any venue or concert in town, and you may find yourself feeling some serious reggae vibes

Reggae originated in Jamaica in the 1960s and has long been looked at in the U.S. as beach music typically played by Jamaican artists. But the tide is changing fast, according to Southwest Florida's reggae-inspired bands.

"It used to be that reggae was only found on the beach. But now you have bands like us trying to do something a little different on a more professional scale," said Nickardo Salmon, bass player and vocalist for NostalJah, a reggae band based in Cape Coral.

Salmon, in his thirties, was raised in Jamaica and played reggae there. He met his wife Drea, also a vocalist, in Southwest Florida, and together they started a band in 2015. Now, they play in cities between Naples and Port Charlotte as well as across the state.

Excitement for Iration by Mitch Santell

One of our favorite bands at Big Reggae Mix is Iration. This year at Reggae On The River Iration will be performing and I am confident that it will be a  real high light of the event.  We happily stream Iration each day because "The Global Healing Has Begun!™"
