Peter Tosh: A Visionary’s Legacy Continues Through Rastafari JAMS Reggae Radio
At Rastafari JAMS Reggae Radio, we proudly stand as a beacon of reggae music, conscious thoughts, and positive vibrations. As we continue to share the powerful sounds and uplifting messages of reggae with the world, we take a moment to honor and reflect on the legacy of a true pioneer—Peter Tosh. His vision and spirit not only shaped the landscape of reggae music but also inspired the very foundation of our journey.
Peter Tosh, born Winston Hubert McIntosh on October 19, 1944, in Westmoreland, Jamaica, was much more than just a reggae musician. He was a revolutionary, a staunch advocate for Rastafarian beliefs, and a fearless voice for African liberation. As one of the founding members of The Wailers, alongside Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer, Tosh’s powerful lyrics and unwavering stance on social justice resonated with audiences worldwide.
After parting ways with The Wailers, Tosh embarked on a solo career that gave us timeless classics like “Legalize It”, “Equal Rights,” and “Johnny B. Goode.” These tracks not only showcased his musical talent but also his relentless commitment to advocating for human rights and speaking truth to power.
Rasta Reggae Radio: A Dream Deferred
In 1987, Peter Tosh envisioned a new project—Rasta Reggae Radio. Alongside his close friend and fellow Rastafarian, Free-I, Tosh planned to launch a radio station that would amplify the voice of the Rastafari movement, spread the positive vibrations of reggae music, and promote messages of consciousness and unity. This station was to be a platform where reggae artists could share their music and messages without the constraints of commercialism, staying true to the roots and culture of the genre.
Tragically, Peter Tosh and Free-I were both assassinated on September 11, 1987, before they could see their dream come to life. Their untimely deaths were a profound loss to the music world and the Rastafari community. However, their vision did not perish with them. Instead, it planted the seeds of inspiration that would eventually grow into new movements and initiatives dedicated to preserving and promoting their legacy.
The Birth of Rastafari JAMS Reggae Radio
Fast forward to April 2014, when Rastafari JAMS Reggae Radio was launched as a 24/7 reggae radio station. Our mission has always been to embody the spirit and principles that Peter Tosh and Free-I championed. We set out to create a space that honors the rich heritage of reggae music, promotes conscious thought, and spreads positive vibrations across the globe.
Rastafari JAMS Reggae Radio was born out of a desire to continue the work that Tosh and Free-I started. We strive to be more than just a radio station; we aim to be a cultural hub that educates, inspires, and connects listeners with the roots of reggae and the ethos of the Rastafari movement.
Tosh’s Spirit in Our Mission
Peter Tosh’s spirit lives on in every beat, lyric, and message broadcasted through Rastafari JAMS. His commitment to truth, justice, and the elevation of reggae music guides our path.

Our programming includes a diverse range of reggae music, from the foundational rhythms of roots reggae to the modern sounds of dancehall, all curated to inspire and uplift our listeners.
