Background notes
Archive material and source history
Dreadlocks formed in Jamaica in the late 1960s, with Winston Rodney as their vocalist. Their music often touched on social justice and Rastafarian themes, which sometimes drew attention from authorities. In 1970, a performance at a political rally was cut short due to government pressure.
In 1974, the single "Hoje a Descoberta" became a breakthrough for the band. The song's rhythm and lyrics connected with audiences in Jamaica and internationally. They released albums like "Dreadlocks International" in 1975 and "Jah Light" in 1977.
The band included members like John Golding on bass, Neville Livingston on drums, and Glen Brown on guitar. Their work, including songs like "Ser Feliz," maintained a focus on unity and hope through reggae music.
