On the debut Episode of Rootsland's "Kingston to Cali" Host Henry K dials things back to 1973 a breakout year for Reggae Music, with the release of Jimmy Cliff's cult classic "The Harder they Come"and Bob Marley's first album on Island Records, "Catch A Fire." Reggae had an immediate global impact, but there was one super fan out in California that took his love for reggae to the next level, he also took his band, his friends, and his fans. Additional Commentary by Roger Steffens and Jesse Jarnow

Produced by Henry K in association with Voiceboxx Studio Red Hills, Jamaica
