Songs For The Revolution
Tuesday April 26th, 2022 with Christophe Elie
Jamaica / Lloyd Hoffstead's Art / Chuck Fenda and Krisis

Skip to Tracks
Songs for the Revolution checking in on the pulse of Jamaica, exploring the History and the words of 2 leaders in the Jamaican Arts community in Hanover Parish. Renowned Lloyd Hoffstead speaks to me from his Gallery in downtown Lucea. I interviewed Chuck Fenda on a dirt road, just outside Reggae Paradise with Lucea's lights in distance. Krisis was on the scene, a 3 way tear up on stage, we've got a song from the Kingston Trio, a bonus track from Ginjah and I even get in on the action, I was inspired to pick up my acoustic for a rendition of Redemption Song.

Hi Christophe, Listening in from work today. I LOVE Jamaican music--guess where I heard it? CKCU of course. Grew up listening to Junior Smith's Reggae In The Fields.

Thanks for tuning in Shelley Ann! I was telling folks in Jamaica about Reggae in the Fields! I am hoping to connect with Junior Smith to share some of the artists I met! I appreciate the support Shelley Ann!

Great show! You covered a lot of ground culturally, politically, ecologically (!!).Really good to hear about the First Peoples of Jamaica, the Tainos. Great music and sounds like you made some new friends!
