ReplyDeleteI am a bit perturbed at how little research is undertaken, when it comes to our/the music, if we were to take a close look, it would appear that the music start and end with Bob Marley! While some of the greats remain unknown or totally ignored! How many of us know about great musician like George Moxey, Sonny Bradshaw, Lenny Hilbert, the great guitarist Ernie Ranglin, Theophilus Beckford, Wilfred Jackie Edwards, Owen Gray, Lee Scratch Perry, Joe Higgs, Laurel Aitken, Joe White, Prince Buster......the list goes on and on. Also earlier music genre such as Mento... We have a lot of work to do, lest we lose our music to places like Japan and other countries!
ReplyDeleteI am even more alarmed by the quality of the music being produced presently! The creative process is under attack by the quality or lack of inspiring and uplifting lyrics! Lyrics like: "Gal yu body luk gud", cannot/will not sustain this wonderful genre! We better wake up and smell the coffee, before we lose another national resource!!
Brother Ruel, I hope you will call in on SSSJamz today and express some of these salient points. Well said big man.
