Reggae and dancehall is lacking leadership and unity according to multi-instrumentalist Michael Goldwasser. Speaking exclusively with WMV the co-founder of New York based record label Easy Star said a lot of the issues in the genres could be straighten out if there was a focus on the bigger picture and a united voice. “Me being from the outside and dealing with a lot of Jamaican artist and the people in the Jamaican industry, and I hope no one feels no way about this; me being and outsider critiquing but I do see a certain lack of unity in the Jamaican music community,” Michael said. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/worldmusicviews/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/worldmusicviews/support

Colin Luther Powell born April 5, 1937 is an American statesman and a retired four-star general in the United States Army. He was the 65th United States Secretary of State, serving under U.S. President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2005, the first African American to serve in that position. During his military career, Powell also served as National Security Advisor (1987–1989), as Commander of the U.S. Army Forces Command (1989) and as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989–1993), holding the latter position during the Persian Gulf War. He almost ran for the Republican ticket for president in 1996. Born in Harlem as the son of Jamaican immigrants, Powell was the first, and so far the only, Jamaican American to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the first of two consecutive black office-holders to serve as U.S. Secretary of State.
