overs 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. Director:
Menelik Shabazz Stars: Dennis Bovell, Paulette Harris-German and Janet Kay
