The Story of Lovers Rock (2011) DVDripXvid(Eng)-BlacKKnight

Lovers Rock, often dubbed 'romantic reggae' is a uniquely black British sound that 
developed in the late 70s and 80s against a backdrop of riots, racial tension and sound 
systems. Lovers Rock allowed young people to experience intimacy and healing through 
dance- known as 'scrubbing'- at parties and clubs. This dance provided a coping 
mechanism for what was happening on the streets. Lovers Rock developed into a 
successful sound with national UK hits and was influential to British bands 
(Police, Culture Club, UB40) These influences underline the impact the music was making 
in bridging the multi-cultural gap that polarized the times. The film sheds light on a 
forgotten period of British music, social and political history
