It's not often that we get a chance to congratulate a musician who has been a guest on our show a few times and who has supported me over time. Andy Bassford has paid his dues and has now been nominated for a Grammy with his latest recording " The Harder They Strum" Host Fred Campbell will play a few of the tracks from this album tonight and invited Andy to call in.

reggae incorporates some of the musical elements of rhythm and #blues, #jazz, #mento (a celebratory, rural folk form that served its largely rural audience as dance music and an alternative to the hymns and adapted chanteys of local church singing), #calypso, and also draws influence from traditional #African folk rhythms. One of the most easily recognizable elements is offbeat rhythms; staccato chords played by a guitar or piano (or both) on the offbeats of the measure. The tempo of reggae is usually slower paced than ska but faster than #rocksteady. The concept of call and response can be found throughout reggae #music.

Reggae has spread to many countries across the world, often incorporating local instruments and fusing with other genres. Reggae en Español spread from the Spanish speaking Central American country of Panama to the mainland South American countries of Venezuela and Guyana then to the rest of South America. Caribbean music in the United Kingdom, including reggae, has been popular since the late 1960s, and has evolved into several subgenres and fusions. Many reggae artists began their careers in the UK, and there have been a number of European artists and bands drawing their inspiration directly from Jamaica and the Caribbean community in Europe. Reggae in Africa was boosted by the visit of Bob Marley to Zimbabwe in 1980. In Jamaica, authentic reggae is one of the biggest sources of income

SKA NATION 360: #SKA, #REGGAE, #ROCKSTEADY TUESDAY with Alphanso Castro

#Jamaican #music has long been a powerful force on a global scale. Even ignoring the deity that is Bob Marley and his reggae legacy, the island boasts a wealth of extraordinarily popular genres such as dancehall and dub, as well as having a long history of folk music, and lesser known, yet highly influential genres such as mento.

Yesterday the Jamaica Observer headlined Early Release for Buju Banton. The Observer mentioned the correct December 2018 release date and referred to a two months reduction of the sentence. Initially February 2019 was set for Banton’s release, but even this fact is not news at all.

In Jamaica, prostate cancer accounts for almost a third of all cancers diagnosed . Arguably, Jamaica has the highest incidence of prostate cancer in the world, based on a reported rate of 304/100,000 per year by Glover in 1998 . Consistent reports of the Jamaica Cancer Registry document that prostate cancer is the most common cancer overall as well as the most common cancer in men; however, the age-standardized incidence rate of 78.1/100,000 per year is much lower than that of Glover’s report . It is also the most common cause of male cancer-related deaths, with an age-standardized mortality rate of 53.9/100,000 per year .
