Reggae Inna Israel - Past to Present in Zion

Some of you may already know this, but I'm based out of Tel Aviv, Israel, which has been my home for the past 7 years. Combining the fact that it is off the usual music tour routes, along with the sometimes nervewracking political and security situation which scares people off, some high quality acts have come here throughout the years. I thought I'd give tanks and praise to all of those that have made an effort and come to spread the irie reggae vibes to the people of Zion.
