The co-author of the legendary Reggae Quarterly magazine and the superb book King Jammy, Beth Lesser has a new book published by Soul Jazz Records on 27 October titled Dancehall: the Story Of Jamacian Dancehall Culture.
The publishers bluurb claims this is definitive… normally claims like this should be treated with caution but anyone who has read Beth’s previous work, or seen her superb photo’s, will know that just for once this could be the real thing. Can’t wait.
Check Beth Lesser on myspace.
