As Reggae Month heats up in South Florida, residents and visitors alike are immersing themselves in the rhythms of Jamaican culture, food, and music.

A special concert celebrating Birmingham's reggae history is to take place on what would have been Bob Marley's 80th birthday. The Reggae Origins concert will see Basil Gabbidon and musicians from Birmingham Contemporary Music Group (BCMG) join forces on Thursday evening at the city's Town Hall.

The festivities begin Thursday with an ‘Uprising’ Tribute Concert livestream from the family’s Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, featuring new and established Jamaican artists like Mortimer, Bugle, Kumar Fyah, and Naomi Cowan. The livestream will begin Feb. 6 — Marley’s 80th birthday — at 3pm EST on the Tuff Gong YouTube page.
