And the Nominees Are….
Without further ado, here are the 2016 nominations for Best Reggae Album.
Branches Of The Same Tree
Rocky Dawuni
Label: Cumbancha
The Cure
Jah Cure
Label: VP Records
Acousticalevy
Barrington Levy
Label: Doctor Dread Presents
Zion Awake
Luciano
Label: Vpal Music
Strictly Roots
Morgan Heritage
Label: CTBC Music Group
Interestingly, for the first time in as many years as I can remember, there are no Marleys on the nominations list. That being said, some of my favorite artists ARE on the list including Jah Cure (who is currently on the Welcome to JamRock Reggae Cruise) and Luciano. I also love that a veteran like Barrington Levy is being nominated.
Do you think the Grammys got it right this year?
