"There is a place on earth where music is not just entertainment... But a way of life."
I can't tell you how very excited I am about the film RiseUp. Finally, a film that honours the efforts of our current music makers in Jamaica. Long live the successes of Marley, the Wailers, Tosh, Cliff and so on, but for crying out loud, the music didn't stop when they exited the stage. As a people we are music children it's what we do, how we live, not just for an era in time, but always. Whether they 'buss' or never to strike it rich, Jamaicans always have a tune to the sound of every mood and it is this which strikes a chord with their local audience. So what, they may never haul the global attention as did Marley, we continue to make music because we make music and that, is honour.
A million thanks to the producers for allowing me to share this with you. One love.
