Roger Steffens is holding unreleased interview tapes recorded with Bunny Wailer for an autobiography that was never published. Not because of conflict, but because Bunny chose not to fix his life and philosophy permanently in print.

In the early 80s, Roger Steffens helped introduce Fela Kuti to the U.S. Through radio, writing & rare access, he documented a revolutionary who fought corruption & military brutality, proving Afrobeat wasn’t only entertainment. "Music is a weapon!" #livicated #movie #rogersteffens #lAfroBeat #love

We’re almost there. The film Livicated is about 95% finished, and after all these years, that still feels a bit surreal to write.

This is one of the nearly 1k posters of legendary reggae bands from around the world that Roger collected, and it’s my absolute favorite. A pure piece of art Culture at the Bataclan in Paris, 1981. This poster captures a moment when reggae carried history, resistance, and poetry onto iconic stages

This Exodus album cover is something special.
It’s signed by many of the musicians who actually played on the record, a true snapshot of the people behind one of the most essential albums in music history.

Here’s another gem from #RogerSteffens’ Reggae Archives: an original Who Feels It Knows It album signed by Rita Marley herself.
Rita is the matriarch of the Marley legacy, an influential artist and activist in her own right.

A classic Roger Steffens photo of Gregory “Cool Ruler” Isaacs outside his African Museum record shop in Jamaica, standing beside a mural painted in his honor.
A moment of pure reggae history from the streets that shaped his sound

A Giant Has Left Us. Rest in Love, Jimmy Cliff

Today, the world says goodbye to one of reggae’s brightest lights, a voice that carried Jamaica to the world and inspired generations with truth, soul, and fire
Roger first met him in the 70s in Kingston long before reggae had become a global movement

A classic moment of Clement “Coxsone” Dodd inside Studio One, photographed by Roger Steffens.
The Sound System General stands among the 45s that shaped ska, rocksteady, and reggae, the backbone of Jamaican music history. Early producer of Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Lee Perry, and many more #reggae

A timeless shot of Gregory Isaacs, the legend behind Night Nurse, taken in Jamaica by Roger Steffens.
One of the many moments Roger preserved from reggae’s golden era.

In 2015, Oliver Stone stepped inside Bob Marley’s legacy when Roger Steffens invited him to tour the reggae exhibit created for Luke Archer’s Music Preservation Project.
A quiet, unforgettable moment where a legendary filmmaker met the guardian of Marley’s history.

#BunnyWailer reasoning with Roger Steffens in L.A.
For years, Bunny chose Roger as the only person to help write his autobiography. They recorded hours of deep, never-before-heard conversations, from the early Wailers days to Bunny’s spiritual path. #Livicated #love #Reggae #BobMarley #RogerSteffens

Not an official Tuff Gong but one of those mysterious European pressings that started popping up in the 70s The artwork alone is a trip, hand-painted, psychedelic... #Livicatedmovie #BobMarley

Before reggae went digital, The Beat magazine, co-founded by Roger Steffens & CC Smith after KCRW’s “Reggae Beat” was the printed heartbeat of the culture.
Bob Marley's covers still echo the spirit of 'Word, Sound & Power 💛💚❤️
