A year and 1/2 ago I published my first predominently reggae episode and it ranked high on my download stats. Reggae is just plain easy and fun to run to. On this show, not only do I bring reggae to the forefront again but I feature an outstanding musician, composer, producer, and humanitarian, Louinel Jean.
Jean is a Haitian who moved to Jamaica in 1998. A man of deep compassion, Jean composes and performs music that not only entertains but inspires and informs. He calls for us to be our best and to be sensitive to the hardship of others, especially children.
Other tunes not included in this show keenly increase our awareness oif injustice. Check out two outstanding works on this theme: Darfur Outcry on Garageband.com and Justice on iTunes.
Jean first graced my show on episode #23 and then again on #33 with 3 of his most popular works. On this episode I replay these tunes along with 2 newer Louinel Jean tracks along with 4 other artists in the reggae and dub traditions.
Louinel Jean's Bio
