Reggae goes Beatles?

Stephen Marley sings Eleanor Rigby for Salaam Remi's new album [LISTEN HERE]. Anthony B covers John Lennon's Imagine on his recent album Tribute To Legends.

It's not a new concept and has done many times before, but there is more to come...

HEMP! Tributo Reggae A The Beatles Vol.2 is the title of a massive Reggae tribute to The Beatles to be released October 30th.

Producer Hernan “Camel” Sforzini, out of Argentina, put together an impressive list of artists doing their version of Beatles songs. 56 artists from 16 different countries are featured on 48 tracks. It was produced in Afro studios (Argentina) and in 35 studios around the world.
