Lee Scratch Perry passed away a short while ago and rather than add to the plethora of tributes by so many much better qualified than I to honour him, I held off until now, when I felt I could no longer delay my addition to celebrating the incredible creativity of Jamaica's most exotic producer and performer. There is something about his utilisation of his own life as an ongoing artistic installation of Words, Sounds and Power that became a major reason for my interest in Jamaican CULTURE.  This show is offered as truly as one ever could be to a LEGEND.The following is not a comprehensive look at his music, from early productions beloved by those proponents of ‘Skinhead Reggae' to the later Reverb washed mystical meanderings on U-Sound records; instead it's some of my favourite Perry productions, mainly it has to be said from the era of his Black Art outpourings. You could collect his music for decades and still only be part the way to lifting the surface on his musical output, I'm no expert, but I know what I like!

Reggae is an important form of music for #Jamaica.   Culturally, #reggae plays many roles and is a way in which many #Jamaicans tend to define themselves.   The social impact of reggae music has largely impacted life in Jamaica.   It has also created an understanding of Jamaican lifestyle and culture for the rest of the world.   It is a form of #music for the masses in which their word can be heard and spoken.   It is a way to celebrate their nationalism and life.   For as long as there's been Jamaican music it's remained inseparable to the people and the environment responsible for it (Chang and Chen 1998c:6).

  Ska is style of music that developed in Jamaica in the 1950s as a precursor to Reggae. It has an easily recognisable style, characterised by bars made up of four triplets, with a definitive guitar chop on the offbeat. This is called an upstroke or skank. Ska music is typically quick, upbeat and exciting – made for dancing – featuring horns (commonly trumpet, saxophone, and trombone) that take the lead and follow the skank, as well as piano or keyboard that emphasises the walking bass line. Drums tend to keep 4/4 time, but the 3rd beat of each 4-triplet phrase is accented by the bass drum and snare. Ska incorporates elements of traditional mento and calypso music, alongside American Jazz and R&B.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, on May 24th, 1938, Campbell earned the nicknames "Prince" for his pre-music career as a street boxer and "Buster" after Jamaican Labour party leader Sir Alexander Bustamante. He fronted numerous now-obscure groups before becoming Dodd's security guard-cum–personal assistant–cum-selector. It was here where Campbell learned the machinations of Jamaica's music industry, knowledge he used in becoming his own sound system operator and the owner of record store Buster's Record Shack. Campbell's "Voice of the People" system quickly became one of the island's most revered, rivaling legends like Dodd and Duke Reid. Campbell produced and released his first single, "Little Honey"/"Luke Lane Shuffle," under the name Buster's Group in 1961, the same year he would produce ska group the Folkes Brothers' beloved "Oh Carolina." On that track, as on many subsequent songs, Campbell asked guitarist Jah Jerry to focus on the song's afterbeat — the weaker part of a musical beat — versus the more typical downbeat. The shift, combined with the use of nyabingi drummers Count Ossie and His Wareikas, would mark a huge influence on the development of ska music. Campbell would produce 13 songs during the "Oh Carolina" session, each one becoming a nationwide hit.

Cecil Bustamente Campbell OD (24 May 1938), better known by the stage name Prince Buster, is a Jamaican singer-songwriter and producer. He is regarded as one of the most important figures in the history of ska and rocksteady music.  In the early 1940s Campbell was sent to live with his grandmother in rural Jamaica where his family's commitment to the Christian faith gave him his earliest musical experiences in the form of church singing as well as private family prayer and hymn meetings. Returning to live at Orange Street while still a young boy, Campbell attended the Central Branch School and St. Anne's School. While at school Campbell performed three or four times a week at the Glass Bucket Club as part of Frankie Lymon's Sing and Dance Troupe; rock 'n' roll-themed shows were popular during the 1950s, with the Glass Bucket Club establishing a reputation as the premier music venue and social club for Jamaican teenagers at that time. Upon leaving school he found himself drawn to the ranks of followers that supported thesound system of Tom the Great Sebastian. Jamaican sound systems at that time were playing American rhythm 'n' blues and Campbell credits Tom the Great Sebastian with his first introduction to the songs and artists that would later influence his own music: the Clovers' "Middle of the Night", Fats Domino's "Mardi Gras in New Orleans", the Griffin Brothers featuring Margie Day, and Shirley & Lee caribbeanradioshow.com

Zora Neale Hurston "There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside you." CHILDREN as young as four years old have been treated for gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes and HIV at Children after being raped by close family members including their fathers.  Dr Knight said she treats an average of eight such cases each year while some of her colleagues see up to 13 children annually at the hospital. Recalling some of the most disturbing cases she has dealt with during her tenure at the hospital, Dr Knight said they continue to have a long-lasting impact on her, personally. One which still traumatizes her to this day is the case of a nine-year-old boy who was buggered by the pastor his mother left him with while she went to work. Although the boy became withdrawn and lost his appetite, the buggery was not discovered until his teacher complained that he was defecating on himself while at school. a four and a six-year-old were infected with gonorrhoea which had began to seriously ravish their young bodies by the time they were diagnosed.“What traumatised me about the situation is when I look at the vagina of these little girls (and pardon the graphicness of what I am saying) the hymen is ripped apart, they have sores, the older child we had to evaporate the room when we were finished because pus was coming from her vagina,” she said. As for Jamaica having a sex offenders registry to alert communities to the identity sex offenders, Knight does not believe this would work as smoothly in Jamaica as in the United States, because Jamaicans might not be mature enough to handle this because of the vigilante culture. help us at caribbeanradioshow by email us caribbeanradioshow@gmail.com see how we can help to solve this problem PLEASE do not stand in silence!!!
