Mammadou, however, unlike me, has
a very good taste of music. Not just any music, I mean music for the
ear and legs (for those who dance) as well. In retrospect, remember
those days when the late Lucky Dube was at his peak? Ian Jere, my
classmate then in secondary school initiated me into the sect of Linton
Kwesi, John Holt, Laurel Aitken, Lee Perry, Steel Pulse, Desmond
Dekker, and Sly & Robbie even if you were not a reggae music
addict, you could easily depict that these rhythms are hardcore. Then
you wonder where these treasures were hidden when all best reggae in
public domain was by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Burning
Spear, Bunny Wailer, Alpha Blondy and the like.
