With all due respect.
Ras Cardo seems to be a great community leader for Trenchtown. Best wishes for his work. Trenchtown as an historical place in Kingston is like New Orleans to Jazz or Memphis or Santiago in Cuba. Very important places in the history of XX century's music. All deserving of investment and recognition. Specially the people who came from or still lives there.
Nobody here is denying that Ras Cardo was a key figure in the late 50s / early 60s in Trenchtown and he started a group before Bob Marley arrived in West Kingston and that he knows everybody from that period and is a respected person.
You keep repeating it every time.
But also you are very dissmissive, disrespectful and frankly, very patronizing to the rest of us (of whom you don't know anything by the way) every time.
This forum is not the place for that. The people here we are great admirers of Jamaican music.
Maybe you should approach the Jamaican establishment.
Music existed in jamaica before he was born. For hundreds of years.
Recorded music existen in Jamaica since the 30s. Names change (Mento, Calypso, Rhumba, Son, Jazz, Ballads, Jazz, Be Bop, Rhythm&Blues, Ska, Shuffle, Boogie, Merengue, Mambo,etc....) but music was there (Eric Dean, Joe Harriot, Rangling, Drummond, McCook,and many more....
They all contributed and evolved into what started to be called as "Reggae" from 68 (even if the word was coined 6 years earlier...which I'm doubting more and more the more I read your postings)
Alton, Joe Higgs, Wailing Wailers, Delroy, Owen Gray, Laurel Aitken, Skatalites, Cluet J, The Caribs, etc...contributed. Loads of people did.
But they didn't "invent" it. Claiming that is ludicrous.
