Abstract

Publication date scheduled to coincide with Shaggy's tour taking place in November 2002. 'First and foremost I am a reggae artist,' insists Shaggy. Born Orville Richard Burrell, the mulit-platinum pop icon is a worldwide ambassador for reggae, but few know just how connected Shaggy is with Jamaican music. Delving into the musical trends that have evolved during Shaggy's formative years, the popularity of sound system 'deejays' and the influence of both 1970's reggae and Bob Marley, Locilento provides and insight into Shaggy's unique sound.
