Ernest Ranglin career retrospective in the works
The Patriarch of Jamaican music is saying farewell to the road, to his fans...to those who don’t even know who he is. As the inventor ska and reggae music, Ernest Ranglin is arguably the most important and influential musician to emerge from Jamaica, and yet many people have not heard about him and his contributions. This project aims to change all of that— we're building a multimedia career retrospective boxed set that will celebrate his incredible life and musical legacy.
The Ernest Ranglin Legacy project is raising funds to assemble an unprecedented boxed set that will include remastered music, unreleased studio recordings from the archives, and all-new recordings and remixes, plus a detailed scrapbook, video collection, and more.
This multimedia package will take you on the journey through an incredibly fertile period of Jamaican music up to the present day. Find out more about the Ernest Ranglin Legacy project via Kickstarter right here.
Watch the trailer video along with a documentary and various performance clips and recordings below.
