Broadcasting from the rolling red hills on the outskirts of Kingston, Jamaica, Host Henry K reflects on his time working in Kingston, his interactions with local characters and the profound impact of reggae music on the island's people. In this Chapter of Rootsland Henry describes his routine in Kingston, highlighting the balance between comfort and danger in a city vibrant with life yet fraught with challenges. The episode details his companionship with Tex, a tough yet humorous "Rude Boy" gangster who helps Henry navigate the complexities of Kingston. A reggae concert in Port Royal punctuates the narrative, where Henry, alongside friends like Brother Nelson and Romie, emphasizes how music serves as a cultural cornerstone, fostering resilience and hope among Jamaica's working class and beyond.
