What Is Cali Reggae?

Cali reggae (aka cali-style reggae, sunshine reggae, or reggae rock) is a unique genre of music that fuses together reggae, ska, dub, punk, and rock to create a one-of-a-kind style!

This genre is about spreading awareness, peace, love, and unity.

One could argue that this music doesn't necessarily have to come from California to be considered cali reggae. Let this subreddit be an ongoing collection of great music and not a place to debate whether or not a band is in the genre.

Feel free to post anything artist-related as well, as not everybody gets a chance to see these bands live!

Here are some ideas:

• Concert photos or funny/crazy stories

• Links to videos of your favorite songs (either album versions or live recordings)

• Upcoming album releases

• Links to album or concert reviews (feel free to voice your own opinion, too!)

Bottom line: Let's have some fun and share our enthusiasm for a great music genre!
