Though the ocean may be a few miles from San Jo, the roots riddim of reggae and island music will be on full display Saturday at the Liquid Lounge for Island Jamz Night. There, showgoers can sample a wide mix of island reggae flavors with singer Chris Niu, Tongan reggae artist Molo Try, Sacramento reggae singer Rudemon and Oakland artist Will 84, who mixes it all together with some pop. Listening to these artists is like transporting to a paradise where fruit trees grow and there’s a cool, cool breeze blowing around—where skyscrapers aren’t the mission for locals, and where a shady patch in the sand is the congregation spot.
