USA Roots Reggae Dub Expo 2010 – San Diego Report

On Saturday, September 18th, 2010 one year of collaborative organizing and promotional efforts came to fruition with the San Diego chapter of the USA Roots Reggae Dub Expo. This was the second half of the 2010 expo, the first half taking place a month earlier in Baltimore.

Roughly 130 lucky souls made their way to the Mainline Building in San Diego, CA for this night of spiritual edification, upliftment and praises through Roots Reggae and Dub music. Even though the dance was supposed to start at 9:00 pm, attendees were showing up for the dance as early as 7:30 pm. The attendees were excited and the sense of anticipation was high – you could feel it in the air.

As people filtered in, they would tell us where they came from, and many traveled far to attend this dance! We had people from all over the west coast, a crew from the east coast, and some from the Midwest. We even had a crew fly in from the U.K. to attend.

The sound systems and organizers arrived earlier in the afternoon to help set up the venue and their sounds. Sound Systems in attendance were BlackHeart Warriors – who also served as hosts to this event, Humble Tafari aka Wildfyah Sound, A.P.S. who brought their own powerful set, Ras Kush of Black Redemption, Mystic from NYC, and Brizion from San Diego.

After testing and tuning up, the sounds started up at about 9:30 pm and played in rotation until 5:00 am. It’s hard to describe how great this dance was. There was a Rastafari Family vibe in the air – the musical selections were top notch. Some of the top U.S. sounds were in attendance, and all played in top form. There was a powerful unity of spirit in the dance. Many dubplates were played, and the sounds were encouraging to each other. This was a powerful event that will serve as a blueprint for future U.S.A. collective efforts.

Give thanks to the following organizations and people for supporting the 2010 Expo. Without these people, the Expo would not have happened: Ras Farms, Satori Movement, Collective Black People Movement, Ital Productions, Ceska aka Fasimbas, Humble Tafari, Livity International and Abigene, Sis Amanda, Kris Naphtali and Brizion, Peter aka Lionheart, Irie Up Magazine, Chef TJ, I-Meditation, Word Sound Power Collective, Sis Leenites, A.P.S. Sound, Ras Kush, Mystic Sound, Zahir and Reuben aka BlackHeart Warriors, Joshua Dan, the Mainline Building, the Caribbean Paradise, and anyone we forgot!
