Few musicians can say they helped shape a musical movement from its earliest days. Even fewer can say they stood alongside legends as that movement changed the world. In this episode of The Jeremiah Show: Pop Culture, Music Icons, Food Gods, guest host Mike Gormley sits down with reggae drummer Carlton "Santa" Davis, one of the most respected rhythm makers in Jamaican music history.

Davis shares stories from his earliest recordings with The Wailers, his years working alongside Peter Tosh, and the discipline needed to survive in Jamaica's highly competitive studio environment. He also discusses reggae's global expansion, noting that today's audiences span Europe, Eastern Europe, and beyond, proving that Bob Marley's vision of reggae reaching the world continues to unfold. Now touring internationally to promote his 2025 album “Thy Will Be Done, "Davis remains both a steward and a participant in reggae's ongoing evolution. His stories offer a rare firsthand perspective on the artists, studios, and communities that transformed a local Jamaican sound into a global cultural force.
