Alphonso Castro was there from the birth of ska. His father was involved in bands that played at the Lodge dances and the many street dances common in the 40ies and 50ies. As a young lad, Castro knew all the leading musicians of the time, because of his father, but it did not take him long to find his place in the culture. His nimble feet drew a lot of attention and praise and became his calling card to this day.

Why are all our breadbaskets disappearing and our foods are now being imported

History of Jamaica’s Declining Agricultural sector: The decline in agriculture's share of both GDP and the labor force continued in the 1980s. From 1980 to 1985, agriculture as a share of GDP dropped from 8.3 percent to 5.7 percent. Likewise, the percentage of the labor force in agriculture decreased from over 30 percent in the 1970s to 24 percent by 1985. 

Jamaica Exports- 2016

Jamaica’s Total food exports amounts to less than US$ 100.00 Million per year

Jamaica Imports- 2016

Vegetable, Fruits and Nut Food Preparations   US$ 79.92, Million, Miscellaneous Edible Preparations   US$ 118.3 Million, Meat, Fish, Seafood Preparation                                      US$   60.9 Million, Fish, Crustacean, Aquatics Vertebrae US$   58.6 Million, Meat, Edible Meat US$   57.9 Million, Sugars and Sugar Confectionary US$   54.9 Million.

IMPERFECTION

From birth we are bombarded with images,

Magazines with the perfect bodies on pages.

Flickering screens with thespians so lovely,

None wants to be identified as ugly.

Society has it's accepted high bars,

Slim and trim or sexy and curvy are stars.

Too thin or too fat brings you whispers,

Women so fast to forget the bond of sisters. 

Mean comments fly on social media,

Soon as that picture goes up of Felicia.

Never mind the person who is depicted,

Or how this may get them heavily conflicted. 

So many derogatory comments fly free, 

So many perfect onlookers sipping tea.

Somebody somewhere looks in a mirror,

"That looks just like me..." is their thought in horror.

How many must go through this ignominy? 

When do we learn to love others in true harmony?

Ska had given way to Dancehall and other forms of rap style music in Jamaica, but it seems things have gone full circle. Ska is back in many ways. The interest show by musicians from countries near and far have done something to Jamaican musicians.
