Meaning
The legendary Kingston recording studio and record label founded by Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd — often called 'the Motown of Jamaica' for its central role in shaping ska, rocksteady, and reggae. Studio One recorded a huge share of the classic early catalogue and launched countless artists, and its riddims are 'versioned' and rebuilt to this day. A byword for the foundation era of Jamaican music.
