When you think of Cali Roots you think of the ultimate reggae weekend. We first attended Cali Roots in 2012 and it’s the type of life-changing musical experience that built our pride as reggae fans even more. And having the chance to see Rebelution play at Cali Roots will always be one of the most incredible live music experiences we’ve ever witnessed. Rebelution first headlined Cali Roots in 2011 and the band’s consistent development and dedication are so fun to watch.

While the global pandemic helped bring reggae fans an abundance of wonderful studio music from their favorite bands, it also starved them of the live reggae music they crave. Perhaps the epitome of this musical withdrawal was the postponement of the now legendary Cali Roots Festival. But fans need not wait any longer! The Cali Roots team is bringing us a series of festivals dubbed "Cali Roots Sessions" leading up to the large festival occurring in 2022, and the first is being held in San Francisco on October 23rd & 24th, 2021.

The weekend is here and what could be more fun than listening to your favorite artists putting their unique spins on the Cali Roots Riddim 2021 produced by Collie Buddz and Johnny Cosmic! The riddim is straight fire and it’s so cool listening to the 26 different artists and their unique takes on the riddim. If you haven’t heard of a riddim before, you can think of it as a beat, or how the hip hop genre defines a beat. Each song takes a different journey. Listen to some of your favorite artists like Iration, New Kingston, KBong, and Artikal Sound System.
