Abstract
- The article discusses the history of Sonia Pottinger, who produced classic ska, rocksteady, and reggae recordings by artists such as Marcia Griffiths, Bob Andy, and the singing group Culture. It is argued that the history of women in reggae has often been overshadowed by the stories of male reggae artists, and the entire musical genre has been overshadowed by a glut of attention paid to reggae superstar Bob Marley. The rise of dancehall, which allowed some female artists to attain greater celebrity, is noted, and an overview of Pottinger's career is presented in this context.
