Reggae

Dillinger is a Reggae act. Their sound grew out of The Congos, Leroy Wallace, Yabby You, Wayne Wade and Leroy Smart. Those roots explain a lot about how Dillinger arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Dave Barker, The Aggrovators, Leroy Smart, Lee "Scratch" Perry & The Upsetters and Max Romeo, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Captain Sinbad, Cocoa Tea, Burro Banton, Beenie Man and Leroy Smart, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 45 connections around Dillinger, reaching back through The Congos and forward to Captain Sinbad.
