Volunteer with us in Hagley Gap, Jamaica
Posted on | January 20, 2012 | No Comments
I am in Hagley Gap for another visit to our Blue Mountain Project programs. Besides the fact that it is nice to see a little warm sun in the midst of winter, it is also nice to have a welcome respite from the seemingly eternal US election campaigns. I realize that Jamaica is a tiny country when compared to the USA but they managed to elect a new leader and parliament and select a new cabinet in less than thirty days. We take two years to do the same thing.

Interview with author Gregory Stephens
(January 2000)“I don’t think enough people look at Bob Marley’s European audience and ask: what is that all about?” Gregory Stephens tells me one sunny day outside of his El Cerrito, California home, “And what does that mean about cultural ownership?”

Putumayo World Music, 2011
Things are getting to where just about every music compilation with “beat” or “groove” in the title is bound to be a collection of tunes designed for contemporary dance floors. I’m not opposed to the idea of letting remixers and electronica tinkerers get their hands on traditional music in order to make it more danceable for the club crowd. All too often, though, the traditional aspects of the music get so smothered in stiff, computerized gimmickry that the end result sounds like dumbed-down crap. So the challenge is to modernize what we call world music without putting off the purists who created a market for the stuff. keep looking »Quote of the Moment
Don't give up now
Got to survive somehow
Could go on and on and the full has never been told.”
