I’ve recently gotten into Matisyahu, the Hasidic Reggae Superstar . 

Don’t laugh.  He’s really a Hasid (a very religious, traditional Jew).  And really sings Reggae music in the spirit of Bob Marley, Burning Spear, and other great stars.

It seems like it’d be shlocky, almost a gimmick, but it isn’t.  Reggae has always been steeped in spiritually, blurring the lines between Rastafarianism and sprituality.
