Bassment Sessions Throwback, Part 1

Every transformation of music in Jamaica from 50s R&B & Mento, Ska to Rocksteady, Roots to Rockers, Dancehall to Digital – Studio One has been one of the driving forces of music.

Hour one, part one ( of a three-part series), looks at the origins of Coxsone Dodd and Studio One beginning with his Downbeat Soundsystem in 1954, to his first release in 1959 up until 1969.
