Legends of Reggae

For 37 years, Jamaica has accepted the official story—a robbery gone wrong, a tragic end to a fading star. The case file gathered dust while Tosh's music continued to prophesy revolution long after his voice was silenced.
But some stories refuse to stay buried.
The Rootsland podcast has unearthed disturbing evidence that tears through the thin fabric of the official narrative:

Declassified police communications revealing advance knowledge of threats against Tosh
Testimony from survivors who remained silent for decades out of fear
Ballistics reports showing ex*****on-style precision inconsistent with common criminals
Documents connecting the alleged killers to Jamaica's notorious security forces
This wasn't just a robbery. This was the silencing of a voice that spoke uncomfortable truths to power—truths that apparently remain dangerous enough to hide nearly four decades later.
The question isn't just who killed Peter Tosh. It's why Jamaica still refuses to look for the answer. https://www.change.org/p/justice-denied-reopen-the-peter-tosh-murder-case-now Listen to Rootsland

The "official story" never added up, and Jamaica knows it.
It's time to reopen the Peter Tosh murder investigation and finally uncover who really orchestrated the assassination of one of our greatest musical revolutionaries.
