Liquid Reggae

Liquid Reggae is a music project drawing on R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae, presented as a concert at Liquidate in Manchester. The evening brings these styles together in one live performance.

Liquid Reggae is a music project whose sound draws on R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae. These genres share roots in African-American and Jamaican music, and the project brings them together in a single live performance in Manchester.

Reggae developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s, while soul and gospel grew out of American church and rhythm and blues traditions. Funk and R&B later drew on both lineages, giving the genres a shared rhythmic and vocal vocabulary.

Liquidate hosts concerts and shows in Manchester, and this evening is one of its music nights. The concert suits listeners who move between reggae, soul and funk, with R&B and gospel also part of the sound.
