This podcast is a dedication to reggae lovers. In 2019 we changed from a mix show format to a talk show of the same theme. We are tackling reggae music topics, the business, and its culture. Highlanda Sound will continue to release live audio and mixes that you can access on SoundCloud. Also, you'll find archives of the previous "Reggae Lover" seasons with 100+ mixes. In a podcast, you're not allowed to use music that you don't own. Any copyrighted material that you use in a podcast is copyright infringement. One reason for our format change was to avoid negative repercussions. This season we have been able to engage with our audience to a greater degree. Thanks to everybody that's been hitting me up. I'm grateful for the comments and messages. This episode acknowledges the creativity and success of individuals in the reggae biz.
