Welcome to Dubwise Soundsystem. Jamaica is an impoverished nation the size of Connecticut and with a population smaller than the Twin Cities - but the island has produced musical forms like Reggae, Ska, Mento, Dancehall, and Dub - which might be the most influential and least understood.

What is dub? Dub is a feeling. Dub is an energy. For some, dub is a way of life.

For the next 60 minutes, we'll explore where dub has been, how it's impacted all music, and where it's headed. This is Dubwise Soundsystem - on the Current Presents.
