Reggae Report

The publication offered an abundance of news and information regarding reggae, Caribbean, and world music artists and entertainers, including soca, African, and hip hop.

Its growing popularity brought accolades, articles, and awards, but the dawning of instant Internet news resulted in the publication ceasing its print version.

Quattro, inspired by the music's spirituality and frustrated that it was misunderstood,[3] continued publishing the magazine, traveling extensively to Jamaica and the Caribbean, as well as to England and major US cities, bringing news to the fans and exposure to the artists.

The publication produced stage and club shows, and promoted events where fans would win prizes, including T-shirts, CDs, and an all-expense-paid trip to Jamaica.

This online, digital 30 year collection of magazines, photographs, video, audio, and interesting memorabilia documents the history of reggae from the late 1970s to the end of the '90s.

"We didn't endorse it or support it," says Quattro[4] The magazine's regular featured segments included articles, interviews, event and CD reviews.

Fan favorites covered include Maxi Priest, UB40, Toots and the Maytals, Steel Pulse, Buju Banton, Garnett Silk, Aswad, Shaggy, Stephen and Damian Marley, Black Uhuru, Sugar Minott, Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Burning Spear, Culture, Marcia Griffiths, Diana King, and Pato Banton.

Writers include Sara Gurgen (Editor), Patricia Meschino, Lee O'Neill, Cynthia Wegmann, Howard Campbell, Jeffrey Dawkins, Amy Wachtel, Ryan MacMichael, and Shelah Moody.
