Oldies but goldies. Rocksteady legends like Rita Marley and Leroy Sibbles reunite for a concert in Kingston 40 years later.
​Kingston, Jamaica 2009: The best musicians from the golden era of Jamaican music: Leroy Sibbles, the Tamlin backup singers, Ernest Ranglin and Gladstone Anderson together with guest performers like Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt and Marcia are reuniting for a recording session at the legendary recording studio Tuff and a huge concert in Kingston.

Rocksteady is a unique document – a veritable time machine - that tells the story of legends through interviews, anecdotes, known and unknown versions of unforgettable tunes like “Rivers of Babylon” “The Tide is High”, “No, No, No (You Don’t Love Me)” and “Stop that Train”. A treat for the true fan and those who have yet to discover reggae.
