Dennis Bovell is a legendary reggae guitarist and music producer. He was a member of the British-based reggae band Matumbi and released dub and reggae discs under his own name as well as the pseudonym 'Blackbeard'. Bovell is widely credited as the inventor of lover's rock --- a style of reggae with light, apolitical, romantic lyrical themes marketed towards young women. He is also known for attempting to fuse disco rhythms with reggae, most notably with the hit song "Silly Games" by Janet Kaye.
