David Rodigan showcases his love for all types of reggae music in a new ten-part series for Radio 2. With an hour of classic roots and reggae music from the 60s to the present day, Rodigan celebrates reggae's back catalogue and looks to its future.

Playing the best in reggae, roots, ska and rocksteady, each song will be linked by Rodigan's encyclopaedic knowledge and warm reflective stories from reggae music's history. There will also be guests and live sessions from classic artists.

This week, David previews the new album from Etana, one of the most talked about new singers in Jamaica. There's also a 60s ska blast from the Skatalites and the original reggae version of The Rivers of Babylon from The Melodians.
