Youth of Roots is a roots rock reggae band formed in 2016, inspired by the Rasta
Revival movement that emerged in Jamaica. Drawing from classic Jamaican reggae
while incorporating influences from Japan, the UK, and the US, the band has
developed a contemporary sound that respects tradition while expanding its
boundaries. Fronted by guitarist and vocalist KON RYU, Youth of Roots builds its
music around conscious lyrics and warm, groove-driven rhythms. The lineup also
includes KENTARO on guitar and chorus, SATOSHI on guitar, KON KEN on bass,
chorus, and bandmaster duties, and KIWAM...
