R.I.P. Byron Lee, de ska/soca/calypso legende

[Selector Waxx]

via facebook vernam ik dat byron lee, de ska/soca/calypso legende uit jamaica overleden is. Op zijn website staat dit:

Byron "The Dragon" Lee passed away peacefully on November 4, after a valiant battle with cancer. But the memory of his phenomenal presence in the music of Jamaica, the wider Caribbean and, indeed, the world to which he helped introduce Jamaican music - will live on through the dynamic band that he founded: Byron Lee and The Dragonaires. With mega hits, such as "Jamaica Ska", "Tiney Winey" and "Dancehall Soca", the band's music has spanned and remained relevant and popular over its more than 50-year existence. The world-famous band will continue to entertain and to bring the music of Jamaica and the Caribbean to a worldwide audience. The Dragon may be gone but he lives on through the Dragonaires!

My respect Mr. Waxx. Jij lijkt 1 van de weinigen die weet wat er gebeurd in de internationale reggaewereld. Er zijn een paar pagina's aan zijn overlijden gewijd in de jamaicaanse gleaner, helaas zijn de amerikaanse verkiezingen belangrijker nu. White house changed into black house. Time will tell about "change".
