The Movement/Wanyama/Dutty

The Movement has opened for such acts as Slightly Stoopid, the Wailers and Blues Traveler. Their mix of reggae, rock and rap is different from the roots reggae everyone knows. Their music includes the steel drum sound of island music and the undeniable record scratch of hip-hop; think Slightly Stoopid-meets-Barrington Levy-meets-traditional-rap. Their most popular song “Set Sail” is a mix of traditional reggae guitar with vocals reminiscent of rap, steel drums and tropical keyboard riffs. Their newest single “Rescue” features a mix of pop and reggae that sounds a bit like Sean Kingston. (Hannah Wintucky)
