- Synopsis:
- Often dubbed 'romantic reggae', Lover's Rock is a unique British sound, developed against a backdrop of racial tension, the Brixton riots and sound systems in the late '70s and '80s. It went from being a small UK scene to a global phenomenon that defined a generation through artists such as Janet Kay and Maxi Priest. Directed by award winning director/producer Menelik Shabazz, 'The Story of Lover's Rock' combines comedy, live performance, interviews and archive footage to shed light on the music and the generation that embraced it.
