The Story of Lovers Rock opened ADIFF 2011 to full houses. The film will now screen today, February 4th at the Black Spectrum Theatre in Queens, NY at 5pm & 7pm.

If you’ve missed it so far, here is another great occasion to see this wonderful musical documentary by award winning director/ producer Menelik Shabazz that tells the story of how Lovers Rock, the romantic Reggae music genre, defined a generation in the UK in the late 70s and 80s hugely impacting on British Pop Culture.

Lovers Rock is a unique British sound, the genre developed against a backdrop of racial tension, the Brixton riots and sound systems in the late 70s and 80s. It went from a small UK scene to becoming a global phenomenon through artists like UB40 and Maxi Priest.
