ENTITY · VENUE

Ethiopian Federation, St David's Lane

Probable

A Rastafari-affiliated meeting place on St David's Lane in Kingston, where Sunday afternoon gatherings drew Studio One session musicians coming from Coxsone Dodd's nearby Brentford Road studio, alongside artists including members of the Wailers; Horace Andy was a longtime attendee. Bradley cites it as one of the informal networks through which Rastafari ideas circulated among Kingston's working musicians ahead of roots reggae's emergence.
