This is a day for the world to reflect on the roll of Women in our society. so much of what we see in the news today directly effects the family, therefore the women. Women are now heads of households globally in many traditionally patrimonial societies – because of the lack of men. still this does not equalize the picture for Women. Women are financially and socially given less power than men, simply because women are seen as less needy than men.
This episode is all about the early rude boy days in Kingston 14 – Tivoli Gardens. this was the time when men ruled the recording studios with gun and tactics. early record producers like Duke Reid and Coxsone Dodd knew what it would take to “squeegee down” a hit. the process always involved “a strong control on the process“. records were cut, the artists were paid cash on the spot and the producers became the owners of these memorable tunes. many of the songs that were attributed to the top producers of the day, were in fact just done on the spot fi a money fi eat.
for the past five days, just like tonight we watched footage of the devastation in Haiti. late thursday afternoon while watching the news we saw a piece from one of the major relief agencies saying that they thought you shouldn’t support YELEHaiti.
Honestly in light of the circumstances, it was both disheartening and shocking; to hear such a major organization spew negativity on Wyclef’s organization. knowing that we have made several donations to YELEHaiti, we wondered why any organization would attempt to dissuade anyone from making a donation to a known organization; with a great track record of charitable activism in this area.
