Born in Puerto Rico, Max speaks of when he moved to Costa Rica to escape the island's concrete and pursue his love of surfing. It was there that he was called into the culture of rastafari. One day, Jah called Roots Natty to bring the message of Rastafari and reggae music to his native island. He returned to Puerto Rico and formed the band Roots Natty in 1995. Roots Natty discusses the growth of the rastafari community in Puerto Rico, and their efforts to resist further commercial development of the island. He also discusses the "colonial" status of Puerto Rico and the people's struggles with Vieques. Read more on Last.fm.
