EXECUTIVE PRODUCER’S CRUCIAL MESSAGE TO THE INTERNATIONAL REGGAE COMMUNITY!!

During the recent “Reggae Month” in Jamaica, there have been various lectures and sysmposiums on the state of Reggae.  Me as the Executive Producer of a television show that features Reggae exculsively, and a stake holder in the genere responded to an editorial that appeared in last weeks Jamaica Observer.  I am in agreement w/ the comments.  However, there are other mitigating circumstances to the lack of Authentic Jamaican music promoted properly here in the U.S. !
