Thanks, JR. That Michael Smith piece was extremely powerful - terrible that he was murdered within a year of this performance.Originally posted by Jazzrook View PostTwo Jamaican dub poets in 1982:

This Thursday's Caribbean tune comes courtesy of Kershaw's latest podcast - 'African Liberation Dub' by King Tubby - fine bunch of musicians in there.

Blind Blake with the Royal Victoria Hotel Calypsos with that Bahamian classic 'John B. Sail (Wreck of the John B.)' - not very Caribbean out there today.

I was listening to 'Inside Music' last Saturday on BBC Radio 3 and the singer Ruby Hughes played a bit of Bob and the Wailers...'So Much Trouble in the World'. I don't often listen to Bob so it was great to hear this one, all thanks to groovin' Radio 3.

I was revisiting one of my old 'Secret Museum of Mankind' CDs this week and this delight jumped out of the mix. Lord Composer playing 'Hill and Gully Ride; Mandeville Road'.

Just noticed the obituary of the great Trinidadian Calypso singer, Black Stalin aged 81. I had a tape from an old Kershaw show with him performing 'Caribbean Man (Caribbean Unity)' - It took me ages to find out that his name was not Black Starling, but this song keeps coming back to me. RIP

I was digging through a bunch of old cassettes on a rainy day this week and found an old Charlie Gillett programme from around 2008. I say that because the album that this track by Andy Palacio and the Garfuna Collective came from won a 'BBC Radio 3 World Music Award' that year. The Garifuna are the Afro-Amerindians of Central America, the descendants of a group of West African slaves who were shipwrecked off the coast of St. Vincent in the 1600s. They live in small communities in places like Belize, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Honduras, along the Caribbean coast, so fits the bill for a Caribbean Thursday.
This track is 'Weyu Larigi Weyu'(Day by Day)
Really enjoyed listening to a bit of Charlie these last couple of days...what a fine broadcaster he was.Comment

He was indeed.
Prompted me to search BBC Sounds - all the eps are there, but name only.
I think they would stand up to a re-broadcast pretty well - or even a few highlights shows.
But won't be holding my breath.
He was always up for a chat on the MBs.
His dedicated website, which had quite a lively forum at one time, has been hijacked.Comment
