Although I listen to a lot of reggae, I had never heard of Tippa Irie before &#8211; judging from the people I&#8217;ve spoken to and Wikipedia, it seems that he was most well-known during the 1980&#8217;s and 1990&#8217;s in England. His performance was very good though, and it&#8217;s been a few years since I performed as an opener when the legendary Jamaican record producer <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Clive_Chin\" target=\"_blank\">Clive Chin<\/a> came to Chengdu on tour of China. Before that one of my most memorable reggae performances I&#8217;ve seen was Jah Faith &amp; Family Tree at Dub Club in Echo Park, Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Of all the songs that Tippa Irie performed last night, this one (&#8220;Rebels on the Roots Corner&#8221;) was easily my favorite. Brilliant production by Mad Professor on this track.<\/p>\n<p>Read about <a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tippa_Irie\" target=\"_blank\">Tippa Irie on Wikipedia <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tippa Irie &#8211;
