Lovers Rock Special

BBC Radio 1Xtra - 1Xtra's Dancehall Show with Seani B, Lovers Rock Special

Seani B presents a huge celebration of UK Lovers Rock for Black History Month.

Seani B’s show on 1Xtra celebrates the best music rooted in Jamaica, from Dancehall to Reggae and beyond. This week it’s purely UK, as he takes to Maida Vale for Black History Month to throw a very special dance, Lovers Rock style. 

Including performances from the likes of Carroll Thompson, Michael Gordon, Janet Kay and Victor Romero Evans, as well as some very special guest appearances from Terri Walker, Cherri V and Tanika. This programme delves deep into a genre that helped define British black music in the 1970's. 

Seani also takes producer and songwriter Dennis Bovell on a musical journey to White City Estate in West London, birth place of Louisa Marks. Together they discuss Dennis’ key involvement in the scene, the very beginnings of Lovers Rock and its huge influence on the world.
