When American reggae band The Movement’s sixth album Golden topped the Reggae Albums chart for the week of April 30, it was a testament to their supportive fan base, earned through years of consistent touring, and a triumph for an alternative to the traditional record label structure.
Golden is the debut release on Rootfire Cooperative, a not for profit company offering no interest micro loans to reggae acts, which pay for the production, manufacturing and marketing of their albums as well as administrative services.
