Legacy

Editors’ Notes Almost 8000 miles of ocean separates New Zealand from Jamaica, yet Katchafire’s connection to reggae is instant and powerful. On their fifth studio album, Legacy, the Maori band spread a healing message of love to a world in crisis; their fluency in old-school roots style drives the good vibes home. “I Can Feel It a Lot” and “Fyah in the Trenches” make for easy skanking, while “100” and “Ain’t Gonna Give Up” (featuring Hawaiian singer Anuhea) mesh the group's sweet vocal melodies with a touch of R&B.
