Culture (band)
Culture is a Jamaican roots rock reggae group founded in 1976. Originally they were known as the African Disciples. Critically considered one of the most authentic traditional reggae acts, at the time of the first Rolling Stone Record Guide publication, they were the only band of any genre whose every recording received a five-star review (of bands with more than one recording in the guide).
