Atlanta’s Jamaican Museum To Launch “Buy A Brick” Campaign For Cultural Legacy Building

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaica is global, and culture is for the people. Despite the Immigration numbers and how different life is overseas, there are those who try to maintain a solid connection with home through a manner of ways. With that said, there have been many individuals and organizations that try to educate, and preserve Jamaica for those who miss home, or have joined into the Jamaican circle through friendships or partnerships. In Atlanta, Georgia, the Jamaican Museum And Cultural Center has been active in sharing the culture, and all things Jamaica. With their latest Initiative “Buy A Brick“, they look to make something more permanent, and build a legacy.

On August 16, the Jamaican Museum And Cultural Center will officially launch their “Buy A Brick” campaign in Atlanta, Georgia. The Initiative will raise funds to assist in building a permanent landmark and cultural space to house and preserve aspects of Jamaican culture, heritage, and pride, with the aim to grow in membership, and legacy-building. With an event held at the APAP Media Group Office in the Stone Mountain area, and online on APAP’s official live stream, participants are invited to assist in sponsoring via purchasing a personalized, engraved brick that will be a part of the physical structure. Starting at 3PM, the event will host a series of live performances, and cultural presentations that will give the audience a taste of what the Museum has in store for the physical landmark.

“We invite everyone, whether you were born in Jamaica, have Jamaican roots, or simply love the culture to be part of this historic movement,” said Dr. Apollone Reid, President of the Jamaican Museum and Cultural Center of Atlanta. “This is more than a fundraiser, it’s a statement of pride, unity, and purpose.“

To be a part of this Initiative, visit jmccatlanta.com, and start your donation through bricksrus.com/donorsite/jmccatl. Come be a part of History.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Major Worries – Product Of Jamaica (1987)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In all honesty, there’s nothing better than being a Jamaican. No matter the struggles, no matter the stress, being Jamaican is just different. With Jamaica’s 63rd Independence celebrations on the way, we thought we’d start the party early on “Oldies Sunday“. Today we go back in time to check out Major Worries’ “Product Of Jamaica“.

Produced by Hyman Wright and Percy Chin for the Jah All Mighty Label and released in 1987, Major Worries’ “Product Of Jamaica” is for the true patriot. The Deejay uses his signature style to highlight some of the many names and products that represent Jamaica to the fullest. From Merlene Ottey, to Salada Foods, to Donald Quarrie, to Peter Metro, to Wisynco, to Josey Wales, Worries lectures the listeners on everything made in the 876, and  invites International Investors to come be a part of it. “Product Of Jamaica” gained some popularity for the Deejay, and over the years scored numerous spins during Independence Day celebrations. Major Worries was one of Dancehall’s promising stars at the time, and his works have influenced the likes of Sean Paul, and Macka Diamond, who once named herself “Lady Worries“. “Product Of Jamaica” would be one of Worries’ last releases before his tragic passing in August 1987. No matter where you are, no matter what you do, remember that you’re Jamaican, and like Major Worries’ song, you are a product of Jamaica. Happy 63rd, Jamaica.

Thank You Major Worries For This Classic!

Munga Honorable & @RasI_Musique Share “Rastafari In Charge” Collab

Posted on by swadedavillain

This is the day to live good, think positively, and uphold the order. It is also the day for new music as Dancehall/Reggae Artist Munga Honorable steps up with something with a message. Earlier, he released the new single, “Rastafari In Charge“.

Produced by Koastal Kings and featuring Reggae Artist Ras-I, Munga Honorable’s “Rastafari In Charge” is the song for those who need something different on the Playlist. The collaboration encourages a more militant mindset, further upholding of standards, unity, good meds, and a wave of positive energy. Rastafari is for the people, and more music like this is needed on the airwaves, and in the streets. The Summer has been welcoming a string of music releases that quickly connected with the people, and we can hear this one getting regular rotation throughout, and an official music video doing numbers. It’s all about the positive energy.
