CD Details
Natty and Nice: A Reggae Christmas is a 1998 compilation that traces reggae’s evolution through holiday standards. Featuring artists including Bolivar, Lee “Scratch” Perry, and Toots & The Maytals, the album showcases how reggae transformed familiar Christmas songs across multiple decades and styles. From ska interpretations to lovers’ rock and dancehall variations, these tracks demonstrate reggae’s creative approach to popular melodies, including creative patois adaptations of well-known holiday phrases and the genre’s unique cultural responses to mainstream pop traditions.
This CD contains eight tracks spanning reggae’s stylistic journey, from early ska versions to later dancehall reimaginings of classic Christmas tunes. A used copy of this reggae holiday collection offers an affordable way to explore how one genre reinvented familiar seasonal favorites.
