Stay Positive Sound Presents Big Mountain and Mystic Roots!
DJ/Host by Stay Positive Sound.

About Big Mountain:
https://bigmountainband.com/

Formed in San Diego, California in 1986, we emerged from a rich cultural melting pot, blending Latin, African-American, and authentic Jamaican influences to create a sound entirely our own. Originally playing under the names Rainbow Warriors and Shiloh, we found our true identity in 1991. We took the name “Big Mountain” in honor of a Native American reservation in Arizona—a reflection of our deep, enduring commitment to social consciousness, indigenous rights, and unity.

Fronted by the smooth, soulful tenor of Joaquin “Quino” McWhinney, we catapulted to international superstardom in 1994 with our iconic, reggae-infused cover of Peter Frampton’s “Baby, I Love Your Way.” Featured on the Reality Bites movie soundtrack, the track became a generational love anthem, dominating the top 10 charts across the US, the UK, and beyond.

But our legacy extends far beyond a single massive hit. With beloved tracks like “Touch My Light,” “Sweet Sensual Love,” and “Caribbean Blue,” we headlined consecutive Reggae Sunsplash festivals in Jamaica and brought our sun-soaked reggae pop to massive tours across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. By collaborating with legendary Jamaican session musicians—such as guitarist Tony Chin and drummer Carlton “Santa” Davis—we solidified our deep credibility within the roots reggae community while simultaneously capturing mainstream pop appeal.

Today, thanks to our millions of monthly listeners across streaming platforms, our fire is still burning bright. With a lineup anchored by Quino and driven by veteran musicians, we continue to record fresh music and tour internationally. Our sound remains what it has always been: a sanctuary of rhythm, celebrating the universal themes of freedom, resistance, and love.

Attending a Mystic Roots live concert guarantees not just music for your ears, but also a high-energy show and powerful experience you’ll never forget.
