No appropriate discussion of political implications in music would be complete without the inclusion of Reggae. Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytalls… the list is endless.
Some of my favorites (in no particular order):
Reggae Down Babylon (Jimmy Cliff) — reggae down apartheid!
Buffalo Soldier (Bob Marley) — the US government using former slaves to fight indigenous Americans…
Downpressor Man (Peter Tosh) — the Jamaican police state.
