Ansel Cridland of The Meditations sits down to reflect on a lifetime navigating roots reggae’s deepest waters. The Meditations have been steady architects of conscious sound since the ’70s—voices that refuse to fade, messages that refuse to soften. In this candid conversation, Cridland opens up about the band’s journey, their uncompromising approach to the craft, and what keeps them grounded when the industry shifts beneath their feet.
Few acts from reggae’s golden era maintain both relevance and integrity this far down the line. The Meditations prove it’s possible. This is the kind of insider perspective that reminds us why some voices matter more than hype—because they’re built to last.
