Nothing says feel-good music quite like roots reggae, especially when its coming from Steel Pulse and The Wailers had. Remember one love? Yeah, The Wailers was Bob’s backing band, and they’ve been continuing his legacy by flying the reggae flag all across the world world. Steel Pulse is no less impressive. Having won a Grammy for Babylon the Bandit and nominated for five others, this old-school group’s message of love and hope has resonated with people across the glove. They also played at President Bill Clinton’s inauguration in 1993 (he still didn’t inhale), the only reggae band in history to have done so. So there you have it: two iconic reggae bands—and the fact that they’re collaborating on concerts? Double the awesomeness. Bob would be proud. (Andy Cheng)
