Grace Jones has a new album out….Hurricane is coming and she is due to go on tour in England promoting the album. I can’t say i am fan of Garce Jones , but i know she is one of the greats, the forerunners. So i am paying tribute and learning from the great.

Being in “foreign” has given me a whole new appreciation for music and many possibilities. Music styles,msuical arrangements……mixing genres, sampling, looping playing instruments just about everything you can think about. there is so much stuff out there it has forced me to look at what we have been able to create since reggae made it on the scene as a great musical form and since the world was introduced to Bob Marley. There have been great hights achieved some artist have made strides but are we really submerging ourselves in the depths of global music taking or share or are we keeping it local. I am not trying to make a point for supporting any particular genre of music just want to see the jamaican influence by Jamaican talent on the world stage pushing it.
