What's your favorite Reggae song?

[jordanandsarah]

Starting to get too excited for our 4th trip to CSA in May! Bringing along my parents this time (you know who you are!)

Trying to put together an awesome Reggae playlist for this trip and need some help! We already have our favorite songs that remind us of Jamaica... so what about YOU? What's one song that instantly takes you back to Jamaica? What's on your Jamaica playlist?

Besides Bob Marley and The Wailers, I'm a big fan of Third World. "Now That We Found Love" and "Try Jah Love" being a couple of faves. Also Ernest Ranglin is an amazing guitarist for some almost jazz like reggae. Look for "Surfin" by him.

I have to say though my all time favorite is "Is This Love" by Bob Marley. I walked down the aisle to this song when my husband and I got married at CSS. Makes me smile each and every time I hear it.

No Woman No Cry, Jammin', Hot Hot Hot. . . .

So I've been listening to these songs to get me ready for our trip!!

We haven't officially booked yet, STILL stuck between CSS and CTI.

BUT now I can't wait to go there and DANCE!!!
Is there anywhere at either CSA or CTI that'll have reggae music playing in the night time to go dancing?
