Cocoa Tea

Reggae
Reggae

Cocoa Tea is a Reggae act. Their sound grew out of Dillinger, King Jammy, Sanchez, Echo Minott and Prince Jammy. Those roots explain a lot about how Cocoa Tea arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Half Pint, Garnett Silk, Beres Hammond, Mikey Dread and Sanchez, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Shabba Ranks, Buju Banton, Louie Culture, Capleton and Cutty Ranks, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 41 connections around Cocoa Tea, reaching back through Dillinger and forward to Shabba Ranks.
