Peek inside the forthcoming publication that documents the filming of 1978’s Rockers
The iconic 1978 reggae film Rockers was directed by the New York based Greek screenwriter and producer Theodoros Bafaloukos and shot in Kingston, Jamaica, between 1975–78. Starring many of the scene's key players, including Burning Spear, Gregory Isaacs, Big Youth, Dillinger and Jacob Miller, it's about drummer Leroy ‘Horsemouth’ Wallace selling and distributing records around Jamaica’s sound systems from the back of his motorbike.
Bafaloukos died in 2005, just before which he penned his never published autobiography which now makes up part of this book, alongside numerous photographs taken on the Rockers set.
Rockers The Making Of Reggae’s Most Iconic Film by Theodoros (Ted) Bafaloukos, Seb Carayol, Cherry Kaoru Hulsey, Eugenie Bafaloukos is published by Gingko Press on 19 June. Pre-order available now.
