“Forward to Freedom: Reggae Speaks Truth on Gaza — Reggae Hour Salute (Day 3)”

Author: B.O.S.S. Radio January 18, 2026 Duration: 1:02:36
Day Three of Reggae Hour Salute opens with a firestarter from Don Dada – Forward off his Forward We Continue EP — setting the tone for a deep, necessary conversation.
In this episode, Mr. E and Zionya take a bold stance on one of the world’s hardest truths: the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the growing call for justice and peace.
This isn’t politics — it’s principle.
It’s about humanity, freedom, and the oneness reggae has always stood for.
Zionya and Mr. E reflect on how reggae has forever carried the message of the oppressed — from Africa’s liberation movements to Jamaica’s cry against Babylon, and now, the world’s plea for peace.
After the talk, the music continues the reasoning — unity riddims, righteous harmonies, and the timeless echo that says:
“One Love means all people.”
Tune in for healing, culture, and roots vibration that still dares to speak truth to power.
