Roots Above the City - Reggae Dub + Afrobeat Adventures

This week on Radio Clandestino we shine a spotlight on Rooftop Roots + Reggae, celebrating the artists and sounds behind one of Canberra's favourite grassroots music events - happening in Canberra on July 25th.

Featuring music from This Way Orkestra, Kopasetic and Agency Dub Collective, alongside reggae classics, Afrobeat, percussion-led grooves and a selection of local and global roots music, the program explores the musical influences that connect Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America. Expect deep basslines, horn-driven anthems, dub, ska, Afro-Latin rhythms and plenty of local talent, plus stories from the Canberra music community and a preview of what audiences can expect when Rooftop Roots + Reggae returns to Blank Cultural Platform.

A journey through rhythm, community and culture—from Canberra to the world.
