Recently Buju gave an incredible 2-hour interview to BBC 1Xtra’s Dancehall After Dark. You can see some video clips and listen to the entire audio here:

bbc.co.uk: Buju Banton Interview

It’s interesting to note that Buju believes, like many reggae fans including myself believe, that dancehall has been in decline for the past 5 years of so. I would actually say a little longer than that. Hopefully dancehall music is due for a resurgence like the one we saw in the mid-90’s!
