Video short. Underrated: Count C, The Wizard of the West (1925-2011)

[soul of the lion]

Wax Poetics Magazine (NYC) published my story about foundation sound system owner Count C in September 2011 (Issue #48). This is a link to a video short about Count C that accompanied the story. I though the Archives would enjoy. I hope you do...

Cyril 'Count C' Braithwaite (1925-2011) was an original Jamaican sound system success story. From his yard at 6 Wellington Street in West Kingston, Jamaica Count C helped to shape modern pop culture and personally mentored more than a few international music careers. A contemporary of Tom the Great Sebastian and a rival to Duke Reid, Count C was a trendsetter and tastemaker before dancehall, reggae, rocksteady or ska. Little known outside of West Kingston... inside he was the Wizard of the West.
