The Meditations is a notable reggae group from Jamaica, formed in the mid-1970s. The original members, Ansel Cridland, Danny Clarke, and Winston Watson, created a distinct sound characterized by tight three-part harmonies and socially conscious lyrics. Their significant contributions to the roots reggae movement include influential works such as "Woman Is Like a Shadow" and "Much Smarter." The Meditations' influence on the reggae genre is further underscored by collaborations with prominent artists like Lee "Scratch" Perry and Bob Marley.
