The Reggae Podclash #8 - Lynval Golding of The Specials

The Reggae Podclash

The Specials guitarist and singer Lynval Golding tells stories of his early years in Jamaica listening to the Mr. Green sound system and so much more. Topics include moving to the UK as part of the Windrush generation, how The Clash’s manager Bernie Rose helped The Specials find their identity, why he always plays the guitar on the downstroke, the two-tone movement and 2nd & 3rd waves of reggae music, how The National Front spoiled the culture of skinheads, using his british accent to de-escalate situations throughout his life, and speaking in Patois to do the opposite. This conversation is a history lesson straight from the source.
Tunes of the week:
The Tidals - “Stand Firm”
Lee Perry - “People Funny Boy”
