1
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,880
I have arrived at
that Franky Waul will play the piano.

2
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,120
We must have an Inna de
Yard Session with Judy Mowatt, -

3
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,440
- Ken Boothe, Cedric...
I call him "The Fisherman".

4
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,520
And the nyabinghi rhythm section
also coming.

5
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,560
i have a piano
that sounds good.

6
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:18,240
Sometimes you come across
a piano that looks good, -

7
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:22,880
- but when you open it, it is
filled with cockroaches and rats.

8
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:29,720
The forest ants eat from the tree.
Rats eat the felt on the dampers.

9
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,760
And they sleep in the blanket
under the keys.

10
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:40,680
We always say they create jobs
to us workers.

11
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,680
This one is much shorter.
It is a longer string.

12
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,880
I need to find one that fits.

13
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,400
So...

14
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,160
Not bad.

15
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,600
In the highlands above Kingston gather
a legendary group-

16
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,320
- by Jamaican reggae musicians
to get back to the roots.

17
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,240
They have to record and tour with
an album of classic tracks-

18
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,400
- from their heyday
in acoustic versions.

19
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,200
Merci beaucoup.

20
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,680
Right now we are in Stony Hill.
In St. Andrew.

21
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,120
As you can see, we are out in nature.

22
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,080
Inna de Yard
is all about acoustic vibes.

23
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:09,560
We capture the sounds
without putting them in boxes.

24
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:16,520
It's a mix
of older musicians, -

25
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,680
- them,
that make up reggae's roots, -

26
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,600
- together with younger people,
there are the branches of the family tree.

27
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,880
In some of the young people we can see
the same spirit, -

28
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,240
- as we had,
when we became part of the industry.

29
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,840
This is the original version.

30
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:10,840
The Inna de Yard project is about
tune in to the virgin music.

31
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,720
Its original state.

32
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,800
Where you just
sit together and wail.

33
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:23,440
We always have, but we have
never recorded that way.

34
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,040
Malcolm X was free

35
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,080
it produced white rage

36
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,200
they wanted to keep all blacks down

37
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,280
in all that time

38
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,880
was the wild angry white

39
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,640
We try to capture
the soul of music.

40
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,600
I have never played before
on acoustic bass.

41
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,760
I have played double bass,
but not an acoustic bass guitar.

42
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,160
But I liked it
and now I have bought one myself.

43
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,720
It is good.

44
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,400
Malcolm X was free
- white rage

45
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,440
Malcolm X was free
- white rage

46
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,600
It's a different experience.
Some other surroundings.

47
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,640
Up here in the highlands,
and then it rained on top of that.

48
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,240
I looked at the clouds,
which lay around the mountain top.

49
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:40,480
When the water condenses, and the fog
scrolls upwards. It was heavenly.

50
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:43,640
It was just so beautiful.

51
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,360
Malcolm X was free
- white rage

52
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,280
Some countries have diamonds.
Some countries have pearls.

53
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,160
Some countries have oil.
We have reggae music.

54
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,320
I call
Jamaican music for black gold.

55
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:50,200
If you know the price of gold, you know
the value of Jamaican music.

56
00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:00,760
Every week I collect. Some
times I go from house to house.

57
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,760
Every single week for the last 20 years.

58
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,880
Jamaica is a melting pot-

59
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,200
- for all possible cultures
and expression.

60
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,480
It is the language of our people. Music.

61
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,600
The sixties were
an important turning point-

62
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:32,680
-for Jamaican music.

63
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,840
We took it
that already existed out in the world, -

64
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,800
-and gave it a new form.

65
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,280
The music got faster.

66
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,600
More contagious.

67
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,640
People said then that you can't
dance to five ska songs in a row, -

68
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,920
- because it was too exhausting, they saw
also played slower songs.

69
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,200
It was called rocksteady.

70
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,640
On the morning of Christmas Day
were there concerts

71
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:21,000
- in the Carib cinema
and at the Regal Cinema.

72
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,680
I ran because we didn't even
could afford a bicycle, -

73
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:31,320
- from Carib to Regal and I ran
from the Regal to the State cinema.

74
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,920
They are not that far away
each other, -

75
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,000
- but I had
wearing the same clothes.

76
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,240
I sang and sweated in the Carib,
and then I ran and sweated.

77
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,520
When I reached the second one
cinema, they were ready for me.

78
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,800
And then I ran on
to the State cinema.

79
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:03,400
Rocksteady was both sad
and happy music.

80
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,640
That's what made rocksteady
so mysterious in a way.

81
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,320
And then it was pure reggae.

82
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,080
We were inspired
of American music.

83
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:52,400
All the... All the big ones.
The Impressions.

84
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,640
What were they called now?
Fats Domino.

85
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,840
The Drifters.
All the major music groups.

86
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,280
We listened intently.

87
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,080
We were aware of
what happened outside our country.

88
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,480
And we merged that with that,
happened here.

89
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,960
It was a beautiful time
because back then you had to be skilled.

90
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,920
You had to be skilled
to become part of the music industry.

91
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,840
When you went to the studio,
you had one chance.

92
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,520
The band played live,
and you had one live take.

93
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,320
It's completely different now.

94
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,680
You can make the basic tracks
and then put the song in afterwards.

95
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,840
Back then you had to
be sharp as a razor blade!

96
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:25,200
Roots music is the traditional one
reggae. It is about our struggle.

97
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,000
It is about
liberation of black people.

98
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:34,240
On the emancipation of Jamaica.
About the daily battles.

99
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:40,000
I like reggae.
It shows our culture.

100
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,480
These are stories from the plantations.
The songs people sang before.

101
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:56,280
It was not a time
where love songs were written.

102
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:02,120
The 1960s was the era of romanticism,
but the 70s were political.

103
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:13,080
Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer,
John Holt, Dennis Brown, -

104
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,040
- Burning Spear, Jacob Miller, -

105
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,240
- the great Ken Boothe,
and over there is Jimmy Cliff.

106
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,560
Reggae is okay.

107
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,680
It's not just dance music. You can
listen to it and reflect in it.

108
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:31,680
Bob Marley. And The I-Threes
with Marcia on the right.

109
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,760
That's Rita in the middle
and Judy Mowatt on the left.

110
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:41,840
It was a spiritual movement for me.
It was a spiritual period in my life.

111
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,160
They say,
that reggae is the people's news channel.

112
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,520
For Bob sang:
"Three o'clock, road block."

113
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,720
Back then, the police terrorized people.

114
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,640
Jamaica has been to
state of emergency since June.

115
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,040
The politicians argue,
and the gangsters shoot in the streets.

116
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:10,200
In the previous six months died
163 people in gunfights.

117
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:16,520
Reggae was about
the realities of life.

118
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:22,800
Everyday events.
If someone was shot, -

119
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,560
- then someone would sing about it.
Someone wanted to write about it.

120
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:36,600
Jamaica lived like this,
as it was described in the songs.

121
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:45,560
The Gladiators. Gregory Isaacs,
Mighty Diamonds, Gladiators.

122
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,280
Gladiators are good.

123
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,160
The artists are the foundation
for all the music.

124
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:56,960
They were the ones who made reggae
internationally recognized.

125
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:03,680
Where did you find it?
- I've been around the island.

126
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,840
This is Cedric Myton.
He sang "Row, Fisherman, Row".

127
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:15,920
The Congos played
orthodox, traditional reggae.

128
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,560
Their music is really,
really deep.

129
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,240
I like their music.

130
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,480
There is movement in their music.
I really like their music.

131
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,440
Tosh. Be safe.
- Yes.

132
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,800
Namely.

133
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,280
Put them down.

134
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,520
Respect. Respect. Respect.

135
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,280
Have a blessed day.

136
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,280
That's right, mate.

137
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,600
Since we were small, we have been going out
fishing with friends.

138
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:41,600
We caught snapper. Drum fish.
Stock herring. The small, silvery fish.

139
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:50,080
I really miss that time
but we cannot revisit the past.

140
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,240
Fisherman calm

141
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:03,840
there are hungry children
on the width two and two

142
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,840
there are hungry children
on the width two and two

143
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:18,040
As a musician, as a singer,
is it good to sing about one's lifestyle.

144
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:21,400
It is one's culture.

145
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,080
The Congos.

146
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,160
"Row, Fisherman, Row".

147
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:29,840
Catch fish.

148
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,960
Fisherman calm

149
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,480
calm fisherman calm

150
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,760
there are hungry children
on the width two and two

151
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:56,320
Back then my life was like
in the "Fisherman" song.

152
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,160
When I sing
"three children on the floor", -

153
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,600
- so there were three children,
who slept on the floor.

154
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,760
And the next one was on its way.
There was another one in my wife's stomach.

155
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,080
Three children are lying on the floor

156
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,640
and one more in the stomach
it's four

157
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,520
My wife is in the US right now
along with a whole bunch of kids.

158
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,160
I have nine children. Nine.
And they are adults now.

159
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,600
But I still help them.

160
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,040
It's been a long time,
I've been over there.

161
00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:39,560
I have some smoking charges,
must be removed first.

162
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,600
"Heart of the Congo". This album
was on Rolling Stone's chart.

163
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,520
Several times.
What? Rolling Stone.

164
00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:10,400
The hardest thing is
when you have no work.

165
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,600
It is better to have a little bit
to tear into nothing at all.

166
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:23,520
Simon Peter
James and John

167
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,760
goes ashore to feed
the hungry little ones

168
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,560
Life, life, life.

169
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,560
I don't just work for myself.

170
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,240
I work for my village.
I work for my family in the USA.

171
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,360
I work for myself
and for all my people.

172
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,520
All I earn
Should I share with others?

173
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:53,880
A little here, a little there. A little over there.
And then a little for myself.

174
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:59,800
And I row
for I am a fisherman

175
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,600
there are plenty of
hungry children on land

176
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,040
Great. I tell you that.

177
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,760
Row fisherman row

178
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,960
the oar in the water again

179
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,760
Ever since I was five or seven years old,
have I come here

180
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,320
Now I'm 7-0.

181
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,600
On the way up Jacob's ladder.
But I'm still here.

182
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,560
We call him the silver fox.

183
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,680
The silver fox.

184
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,320
Listen here! One!

185
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,080
Thaw!

186
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,880
Three!
- Happy birthday!

187
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,680
Cedric is like a father to me.

188
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:13,960
I lived with Cedric
in Kingston. Cedric is an angel.

189
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,280
His voice fills one's soul.

190
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:23,400
It is mysterious and unique.

191
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,280
Row fisherman row

192
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,720
the oar in the water again

193
00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:38,200
calm fisherman calm

194
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,760
there are plenty of
hungry children on land

195
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:49,920
there are plenty of
hungry children on land

196
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,040
the fisherman's hut is not nice

197
00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,680
in the small harbor town

198
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,000
three children are lying on the floor

199
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,440
and one more in the stomach
gives four

200
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,520
every single day

201
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,680
I go down to the sea

202
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,680
every single day

203
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,400
I go down to the sea

204
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,480
In the last 19 or so years-

205
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,360
- we have not received any royalties
for the "Fisherman Style" plate.

206
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:47,360
The company that published it,
have taken advantage of our music for a long time.

207
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,240
They are not mere thieves. Not just
thieves, not just swindlers.

208
00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:00,480
It has been hard, but we give
don't give up because it will get better.

209
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,440
Inna de Yard is the main thing now.

210
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,880
It's been a long time,
but now it will soon be finished.

211
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,120
Have a blessed day.

212
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,080
This is our living room.

213
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,640
Here we can enjoy ourselves.

214
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:28,720
This must be a bedroom.

215
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,320
We started building the house in 2003.

216
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,920
It has taken a long time.

217
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,400
And this man who earns the money,
he started it all.

218
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:45,080
It has been a struggle financially.

219
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:51,560
Hopefully we'll finish.
- Next year it will be finished.

220
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,680
For sure.
It will be completed early next year.

221
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,440
Congos are icons all over the world.
The largest in Jamaica.

222
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:38,280
This place is called Strawberry
Fields. Here I learned to swim.

223
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:43,320
It is a small community that is
cut off from the rest of the world.

224
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,080
When I come home from a tour, -

225
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:51,680
- then this place is one of them
the first places I want to go.

226
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,200
My childhood was filled with music.

227
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:04,600
When I was 12 and went to school,
I studied music and singing.

228
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,160
They called me Little Frank Sinatra.

229
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,560
Sometimes I got money
to sing.

230
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:27,080
In 1978 I participated
in the movie "Rockers".

231
00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:36,520
"Rockers" has been shown
anywhere in the world.

232
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:42,320
The amount of attention I have
gained through it, is overwhelming.

233
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,680
Now it won't last long

234
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,760
now it won't last long

235
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,040
all the suffering

236
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:59,760
and all the injustices are over

237
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,920
It's a picture of me
along with the other boys.

238
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Dirty Harry, Robbie Shakespeare,
Horsemouth, Jah Youth, -

239
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,800
- Jacob Miller, Gregory Isaacs
and so on.

240
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:22,840
As they have done
this is how they should lie

241
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:28,560
Rolling Stone called it one of the
best movie soundtracks ever.

242
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,400
Horsemouth, Gregory, Kiddus I...

243
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,840
I beg you my brothers

244
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,160
fat against fat against fat against

245
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,440
Some did well.
Peter Tosh, Jacob Miller and I-

246
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,800
- might have been
the next Bob Marley.

247
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,360
Workers take heed

248
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:03,240
But when I saw how people
was treated in the music industry, -

249
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:10,200
- I thought I should work on
own hand and be a producer yourself.

250
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,840
So I did.

251
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,360
There was a long, quiet period, -

252
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,040
- because I had come a little on edge
with Uncle Sam.

253
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,760
I had been deported,
so for 17 years-

254
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:34,240
- was my career
paused in the US.

255
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,760
My career was in ruins.

256
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:53,840
I have a rebellious side,
which may have repulsed some.

257
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,080
Sometimes messes
my big mouth gets me into trouble.

258
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,560
It has done that
many times in my life.

259
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:09,160
If the sun one day

260
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,920
falls down

261
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,280
or the seas

262
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,160
suddenly dries up

263
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,440
if you love me

264
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:28,000
really love me

265
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,640
so let it happen

266
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,160
it doesn't matter to me

267
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,480
it doesn't matter to me

268
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,960
In the 70s I made some music
with Lee "Scratch" Perry.

269
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:50,240
Wish I could find those tapes.
There were at least 20 rolls of tape.

270
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,720
They have disappeared somewhere.

271
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,480
I've been pretty unlucky
with my music.

272
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:02,600
At one point I was the most
recorded unreleased Jamaicans.

273
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:09,120
When it works
as if all is lost

274
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,160
then I smile

275
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,560
and doesn't give it a thought

276
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,920
because you love me...

277
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,800
We're having some timing issues
with the vocalist, -

278
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,640
- so we take it easy
and find out. Not?

279
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:58,120
I grew up from when I was
three or four years, over on that mountain there.

280
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,720
Back then it was
a huge sugar cane plantation.

281
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:08,640
There were many who worked there.
My father was a bookkeeper there.

282
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,680
My father was a great singer,
and he loved music.

283
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,640
From opera to jazz to blues

284
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,560
- to merengue, cha-cha
and rock'n'roll when it came out.

285
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,280
From the top.
- The top?

286
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:27,560
Yes. Play it all.
Just play the whole thing.

287
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,480
He had a large collection.
I remember when I was a boy, -

288
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,240
- that I took an LP and...

289
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,640
I watched it float away.

290
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:44,600
If the sun one day fell...

291
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:52,080
So funny! I watched it float down
the mountain and fly away with the wind.

292
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,080
He came home from work
and then me.

293
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,280
He rode a mule or a horse.
He had a whip in his hand.

294
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,880
So he came up to me and…

295
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,240
I got one in the rear,
and then I sped away.

296
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,240
Then he caught up with me again and…
And then I sped away again.

297
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,120
I flew over that mountain.

298
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:27,480
I got spanked almost every day,
because I was naughty.

299
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,120
Let it happen

300
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,960
it doesn't matter to me
- That's where I come in.

301
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,480
It doesn't matter to me

302
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,080
I did what suited me.
And if you wanted to stop me, -

303
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,760
- then I was filled with rage
and had to say:

304
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,400
“Who are you?
Who gave you the power?"

305
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,560
If you tried to stop me,
my mother, my father, whoever, -

306
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,600
- then I was filled with a rage,
which I had to manage.

307
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,320
If the sun one day

308
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,240
falls down

309
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,920
or the seas

310
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,080
suddenly dries up

311
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,800
if you love me

312
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:30,000
really love me

313
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,800
so let it happen

314
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,000
it doesn't matter to me

315
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:42,640
it doesn't matter to me

316
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:49,320
when it works
as if all is lost

317
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,880
then I smile

318
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,880
and doesn't give it a thought

319
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,120
because you love me

320
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,480
you really love me

321
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,280
so let it happen

322
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:14,040
my beloved
it doesn't matter to me

323
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,840
should i catch a shooting star?

324
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,680
Bring it to you by courier?

325
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:28,080
I have never been declared for
right spouses to be, -

326
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:34,360
- but the three relationships I have
been in, have been as marriages.

327
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,920
But sometimes,
when life's course is rough, -

328
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,840
- then people drift apart.
This is what has happened.

329
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,080
Some people
can't handle the high seas of my life.

330
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,480
Then they jump off the table.

331
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,520
Because you love me

332
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,960
you really love me

333
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,800
so let it happen

334
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:04,600
my beloved
it doesn't matter to me

335
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,880
This is Kwame Falls.
This is...

336
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:26,560
It's dread. It's congo.
A congo dreadlocks waterfall.

337
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:34,120
What could be better than having
a congo hot tub out in the middle of nowhere?

338
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,080
Here is wonderful.
I love this place.

339
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,760
Seriously.

340
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:54,160
When it works
as if all is lost

341
00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:57,920
then I smile

342
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,680
One more time!

343
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:13,040
Rastafari!

344
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:17,360
Thank you very much.
Also upstairs!

345
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:23,840
If the sun one day

346
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,760
falls down

347
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,960
or the seas

348
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:35,480
suddenly dries up

349
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:40,280
if you love me

350
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:47,760
if you really love me

351
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,840
so let it happen

352
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:56,400
it doesn't matter to me

353
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:01,120
no it doesn't matter to me

354
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:08,920
It's a tough fight. you know
for singers, artists and poets.

355
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:14,600
Not many are visionaries and can
maintain and convey the vision.

356
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:30,520
Come gather yourselves
come gather yourselves

357
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:35,320
come
at his throne

358
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,840
run away run away

359
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:43,080
from the land filled with quicksand

360
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,000
Music is energy.

361
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,880
There is good and bad energy.

362
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,720
One of the common languages in our
jamaican music

363
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:06,040
- carries the message of love.

364
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:15,040
The people who best
conveys that love, -

365
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,480
-they are Rastafarians.

366
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,920
Rastafari!

367
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:27,440
Rastafarians understand
our fight here in Jamaica, -

368
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,320
- because they themselves have fought hard.

369
00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:00,720
I grew up in a Rasta home.
My father was Rasta.

370
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:08,400
Back then the Rastas were
righteous people.

371
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,240
What they preached...
- It was love.

372
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,960
That was it,
the Rastas preached then.

373
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,680
that's it
the people base their lives on now.

374
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,400
Rasta is a way of life.

375
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,480
They believe in love.

376
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:29,280
They believe in honesty.
True Rastas believe in honesty.

377
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,760
Back then the Rastas had to
don't even ride the bus.

378
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,520
That was what they had to fight against.
The stigmatization.

379
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,880
My father went to prison every year.
About ten times.

380
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:54,880
He was constantly locked up.
I wasn't allowed to go to school.

381
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,120
I wasn't allowed to go to school.

382
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,120
Rastas were not welcome back then.

383
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,680
There always has been
a message in reggae.

384
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,320
Rasta is true and good.

385
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,000
A way of living,
which was created by Rastas.

386
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:18,960
The message. It always is.
- You preach as you live.

387
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:23,160
If there is something wrong in society,
then you sing about it.

388
00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:25,880
These are protest songs.

389
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:39,040
Love is everywhere.
If you have love, then you will, -

390
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:43,680
- no matter how hard life is,
manage.

391
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,920
"Love is the Key".
I like that one.

392
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,920
Love is free

393
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,080
and love is understanding

394
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,560
it is the key to everything

395
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,760
it can open all doors

396
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,640
Wait a little. Which band was on here?
- Roots Radics.

397
00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:20,240
The track is only three minutes long,
because it is one take.

398
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,400
When we had recorded it,
everyone was up in arms about it.

399
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:28,120
Then I knew
that it would be a hit.

400
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:33,120
This is very old.
From the sixties.

401
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,320
Mildew and everything.

402
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,720
A heart of stone
you should have let me know

403
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,080
I've been trying to win your heart

404
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,760
I got nowhere

405
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,880
but i saw you with the other guy
guess how i feel

406
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,720
a heart of stone
you should have let me know

407
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,760
Wesley is always inspired.
He writes songs every day.

408
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:02,160
Inspiration hits him,
when he walks, sits down or thinks.

409
00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:04,400
He always writes songs.

410
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:10,080
He is the best songwriter.
- Thank you very much.

411
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:15,440
We must get together a bit more often.
- We could do that with a vehicle.

412
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,240
We need a car.
- A crisp, new car.

413
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:45,040
It's good to be here again.
That riddim sounds good.

414
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:51,280
Ken Boothe is a well-known,
yes, famous jamaican artist.

415
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:56,200
He covers the whole spectrum.
He has done everything.

416
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,920
He has done a lot of ska.

417
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,320
Rocksteady. Reggae.

418
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:07,600
Ken Boothe
has survived the test of time.

419
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,680
Ken Boothe is my friend.
I love him.

420
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:16,160
His music
has helped me through a lot.

421
00:44:16,240 --> 00:44:20,720
His music got me through the 70's.

422
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:26,440
He is an excellent songwriter.
An excellent performer.

423
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:31,000
I could look at him all day
without getting tired of it.

424
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,600
I love it. I'm ready.

425
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,040
I'm ready. I'm ready for this.

426
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:57,320
It sounds wonderful.
Now I want to record.

427
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,400
It is not easy. Show business.

428
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,880
There is nothing like show business

429
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,400
there is nothing at all

430
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:15,440
There is nothing like show business.
There are many ups and downs.

431
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,440
And you suffer along the way.
You have to persevere and believe in it.

432
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:27,280
You gave me peace and shelter

433
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:33,600
kept me warm
kept me warm

434
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,640
you gave me life

435
00:45:37,720 --> 00:45:42,720
set me free
set me free

436
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,720
My first concert
was in this cinema.

437
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:56,440
I was so nervous.
I had never performed before.

438
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,360
My family was sitting down there
and looked at me.

439
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,520
When I went to the microphone,
I closed my eyes and sang, -

440
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:07,880
- because I was so nervous and scared.

441
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:14,880
If you didn't sing properly,
were booed off the stage.

442
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,160
If you didn't sing properly.

443
00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:24,400
Some of them are the hardest to
satisfy, the audience is here.

444
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,120
When we practice,
I always plan the set list, -

445
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:31,800
- so there are songs people know.
So they can sing along.

446
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:37,520
But the last song…
The last song will bring the house down.

447
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:42,560
All artists know that.
You sing the biggest hit at the end.

448
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:47,880
At most concerts I sing
"Everything I Own"-

449
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,640
- as the last song,
because people love it.

450
00:46:51,720 --> 00:46:56,400
You gave me peace and shelter

451
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:02,640
kept me warm
kept me warm

452
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,680
you gave me life

453
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:14,840
When I started singing that song,
everyone went crazy.

454
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,000
They could see
that it would be a hit.

455
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:22,680
The best years
I have had

456
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,800
are the ones I had with you

457
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:35,000
and I will give everything I have

458
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:40,200
give my life
my heart everything

459
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,880
I was just a boy from the country.

460
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:49,560
I only knew about Jamaica.
But this is where it all began.

461
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:56,040
With "Everything I Own" I ate
cherry with the big ones in the industry.

462
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,720
I have been married to him for 22 years.

463
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:11,480
I love him. I always stood
out by the fence watching him.

464
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:16,880
He is nice and gentle and loving.

465
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,400
She looked over the fence,
where she lived, -

466
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:25,800
- and I drove past
and showed me to her. Do you understand?

467
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,600
Here is my dressing room.

468
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,280
You have to look decent in your clothes.

469
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:57,880
You must dress nicely,
when performing. I mean that.

470
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:03,360
She is a wonderful woman.
I don't go anywhere without her.

471
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:08,600
I can't iron clothes.
I can't prepare things myself.

472
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:12,120
When I have to perform,
then she gets everything ready for me.

473
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:16,560
She irons my clothes. ensures,
that everything is as it should be.

474
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:21,560
I just have to take a shower
and get dressed.

475
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:25,800
I warm up by looking
on my wife and sing...

476
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,080
is it clean
she does like this.

477
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,960
If it's a little... Then she says:
"It will probably come."

478
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:37,520
you gave me peace and shelter

479
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:44,520
kept me warm
kept me warm

480
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,800
you gave me life

481
00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:57,240
set me free
set me free

482
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:03,400
the best years
I have had

483
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:07,400
are the ones I had with you

484
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:13,200
and I will give everything I have

485
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:18,920
give my life my heart
everything

486
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:24,680
After the success of "Everything I Own"
everything went wrong for me.

487
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:30,200
I lived in the US and I took me
not properly by my wife.

488
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,000
She didn't hear from me for a long time.

489
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:37,680
I was in a situation
where the drugs could get hold of me.

490
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:42,560
I have been on that journey,
and it wasn't so nice.

491
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,080
Do you love them dearly

492
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:51,240
and do you take it all for granted?

493
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,960
You may lose them one day

494
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,520
someone takes them from you

495
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:01,160
There was a lot of pain
and much sorrow during that period.

496
00:51:01,240 --> 00:51:04,320
And I said:
"What have I gotten myself into?"

497
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,200
It shouldn't be like this for anyone.

498
00:51:09,720 --> 00:51:11,840
Then I went home to Jamaica.

499
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:17,160
I moved in with my wife
in her mother's house.

500
00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:21,560
And they treated me well.

501
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:27,160
One more take. Keep it here.
While I have the mood. One more.

502
00:51:27,240 --> 00:51:30,080
We are ready for one more take.

503
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:39,280
I have been in the business for 53 years,
and nothing lasts forever.

504
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:43,800
I do this because I like to
will look back on what I love.

505
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:48,000
All of us,
before the fame happened.

506
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:51,600
We walk together.
We sing together.

507
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:56,880
We eat together.
That's what my era is all about.

508
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,560
I love playing live.

509
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:06,840
It's where people can hear
how good I am at singing, -

510
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,120
-and see me live.

511
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:16,240
Some have never seen me before,
and that is what they are given the opportunity to do.

512
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,000
They pay to see the artist.

513
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:23,960
Show business unites people.

514
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,720
Ladies and gentlemen, Ken Boothe!

515
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,800
Thank you. Thanks.

516
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,600
Now you must dance.

517
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:56,400
Now let the tears fall
now let the tears fall

518
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,640
now let the tears roll
from your eyes

519
00:53:00,720 --> 00:53:04,840
now let the tears fall
now let the tears fall

520
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:09,120
now let the tears roll
from your eyes

521
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,760
You don't miss water
before the well dries up

522
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:18,080
before the well dries up
brothers and sisters

523
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:22,000
You don't miss water
before the well dries up

524
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:25,680
before the well dries up
brothers and sisters

525
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:30,120
let now
- the tears fall

526
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:34,360
let them fall
down on the ground

527
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:39,120
let them fall
show no mercy

528
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,960
let them fall
down on the ground

529
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:47,520
Sometimes it's hard to find
money for food. I have tried that.

530
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:51,600
You cry on the phone
begging me to come home

531
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:56,560
but listen my friend
I won't do it again

532
00:53:56,640 --> 00:54:00,400
Therefore, I know
how to treat people.

533
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:04,280
The tears fall
- let them fall

534
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:08,040
let them fall
down on the ground

535
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:12,520
The music does not come first
for me. People do.

536
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:17,560
You show no mercy
for the small children

537
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:02,360
a heart of stone
you should have let me know

538
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:07,920
a heart of stone
you should have let me know

539
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,800
it's no use hiding
from the realities

540
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,760
you have to face it

541
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:19,200
whether it will be my death
then you must suffer

542
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,000
you and your heart of stone

543
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:28,720
a heart of stone
you should have let me know

544
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:34,920
a heart of stone
you should have let me know

545
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,920
My mother got this land,
when she was 15 years old.

546
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,720
She must have been rich,
for she owned half an acre of land.

547
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:45,560
It wasn't normal
to own so much land back then.

548
00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:50,600
I like being here,
because here is zen-like.

549
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:55,880
It's a good place to think.

550
00:56:58,240 --> 00:57:03,520
And to work on music.
Getting up early, before everyone else, -

551
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,240
-and work on some songs.

552
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:17,480
When I was born,
the doctor would like to adopt me.

553
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:21,480
My father agreed to that
without my mother's permission.

554
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,640
My father had many sons.

555
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:28,040
The doctor wanted to adopt me,
for his wife could not bear children.

556
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:33,440
My mother said:
"What? I'm not giving my child away."

557
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:35,880
Family!

558
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,760
Family!

559
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,520
We used to sleep
in that park over there.

560
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:47,000
We were awake until 1-2 in the morning
in Half Way Tree.

561
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,760
And then we put our bags on the bench
and rested a little.

562
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:54,400
The next morning we got up
and went to the Aquarius studio-

563
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:59,000
- to see if we could come
to record that song, -

564
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,400
-that would change our lives.

565
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:18,320
Fear fear fear fear
they will leave us behind

566
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:24,280
fear fear fear fear
have they planted in our minds

567
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:31,080
fear fear fear fear
they will leave us behind

568
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:38,080
fear fear fear fear
they must not muzzle you

569
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:44,880
fear fear fear fear
they must not leave you

570
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:51,520
I started singing at a young age.

571
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:56,160
Then I realized
that I had something special, -

572
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,880
- because when my mother
took me to church, -

573
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,680
- then there was always a lot of money
in the church pew when I sang.

574
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:13,280
My father held religious services
further out on this road.

575
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,400
He used a bottle lamp,
as we call it.

576
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:21,160
It's a normal bottle of something
kerosene in. It then lit up.

577
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:26,200
Many years later he spoke
a gentleman who owns the land here.

578
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:30,240
He offered my father the plot.

579
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,960
It wasn't a present for my father,
but to the people, -

580
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,840
-and my father founded the church here.

581
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:40,560
I went to Sunday school. There was there
a man named Brother Thomas.

582
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,800
He taught us a lot of songs.
Beautiful songs.

583
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:47,880
If you hear the voice of God
speak to your heart

584
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:53,520
it is the voice of God
that will deliver you from sin

585
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:57,920
but if you don't listen
you will not be saved from sin

586
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,920
when the last trumpets sound
it has become doomsday

587
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,640
My father was a successful pastor.
He was not just a normal priest.

588
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,080
He was a star.

589
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:13,000
He was a troublemaker.
When a church was in trouble, -

590
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:16,560
- then they sent him
to correct it.

591
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,280
He was a firebrand.

592
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:24,200
...what you have to do,
and what you are doing right now!

593
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:28,080
In the name of Jesus, we salute you!
Give me an "amen"!

594
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:31,520
Amen! Amen!
- Amen!

595
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:37,760
That's how it should be. Hallelujah!
Now sit down before the Lord!

596
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:43,800
I stand by my son's grave.
Matthew Elijah MacAnuff.

597
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:51,480
I came home from abroad,
and then I called him up.

598
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:56,080
“Matthew, you must come
and visit me, my son."

599
01:00:56,160 --> 01:01:01,360
He was supposed to come on Tuesday,
but he did not come.

600
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:05,960
On Wednesday someone called
and said Matthew was dead.

601
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:12,920
I almost died when I heard that.

602
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,520
I came back…

603
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:28,120
...and then I fell over up there.

604
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:33,920
Vonetta said:
"Winston, what's wrong?"

605
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,680
I couldn't say a word.

606
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,720
After some time told
I her that.

607
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,640
"They killed Matthew."

608
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:45,520
Yes.

609
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:52,800
They said he went out to buy
a little pot, but that he spoke loudly.

610
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:57,600
"Does anyone have any pot?"
"Why are you talking so loud?"

611
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:02,280
Then they came up arguing,
and there was one who stabbed him down.

612
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:06,040
And then he ran up the road
and threw a stone, -

613
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:10,040
- and it hit someone, and then they drove off
him down and killed him.

614
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,880
It was a stupid kill.

615
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:22,280
It's been five years since
that he flew away.

616
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:27,360
I'm really happy about it,
happening today.

617
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,000
Do you understand? Well.

618
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,880
We play "Be Careful" in the set.

619
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:37,800
Was, Kush
and sometimes Derajah sings it.

620
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,560
Cedric and them vote in too.

621
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,880
But I just walk around and pose.

622
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:56,120
THE ETERNAL VOICE
WHO SINGS AN ENDLESS SONG

623
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:05,920
My name is Derajah, and I
representing Matthew MacAnuff.

624
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,800
Rest in your own strength, my brother.

625
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,680
We will keep his memory alive.

626
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:15,160
The word, the sound and the power.

627
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:20,880
"An Eternal Voice,
who sings an endless song."

628
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,680
"Take care of yourself in these times."

629
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,200
take care of yourself during these times

630
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:30,640
you must know who you are

631
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:34,360
in these times
may you not be blind

632
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:37,160
I tell you that now

633
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:42,200
take care of yourself during these times
you must know who you are

634
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,600
in these times
may you not be blind

635
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:48,120
don't put a foot wrong

636
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,160
they give us weapons
teaches us to kill

637
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:54,000
they are strangling your mother
while you serve their evil

638
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,640
we suffer and struggle
to earn a penny

639
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,720
it is hard to be poor
if you are not a criminal

640
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:02,320
the system is created
to keep black down

641
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,160
Babylon stands
while we lie down on the ground

642
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:10,200
so open your eyes
and fight against the evil men

643
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:15,840
take care in these times
you must know who you are

644
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:19,400
in these times
may you not be blind

645
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:21,920
I tell you that now

646
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:26,960
take care in these times
you must know who you are

647
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:30,480
in these times
may you not be blind

648
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,400
Babylon stands
while we lie down on the ground

649
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:49,880
so open your eyes
and fight against the evil men

650
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:55,640
take care in these times
you must know who you are

651
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,440
in these times
may you not be blind

652
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,280
if no one fights
you will be left behind

653
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:06,680
take care in these times
you must know who you are

654
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:12,080
in these times
may you not be blind

655
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:15,760
take care in these times

656
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,400
Paris! We love you guys!

657
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,720
Matthew MacAnuff!
He lives forever!

658
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,880
Matthew MacAnuff!

659
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:43,000
Yay people! This here
is Matthew's message to you.

660
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:49,840
Rastafari.
Live life and protect each other.

661
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:51,920
Haile Selassie I.

662
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:16,480
When we were small, ours felt small
community here much larger.

663
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,400
Everything seemed enormous.

664
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:25,480
We had fun.
We played a lot of football.

665
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:29,160
Me and my friends,
who lived around here.

666
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,760
It was full of nice people.

667
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:34,760
It hurts so much
I'm crying

668
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,600
night and day
tears roll down

669
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,960
even in prayer
I ask Jah-Jah why

670
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:44,240
was it going to be like this?
Can't let go

671
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:47,760
oh my sister
i miss you

672
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:51,560
I am writing this to you
to you I whisper

673
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:54,960
when you flew your way
then I sighed

674
01:06:55,040 --> 01:07:00,680
it hit me so hard
oh my sister i miss you

675
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:08,640
One day I was sitting
outside my friend's house.

676
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:15,520
We heard a shot,
and then we wanted to go out and look at it.

677
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:19,240
When we reached my garden gate,
I saw one lying on the ground.

678
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:26,360
I said to my friend:
"They shot a man in my front yard."

679
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:31,360
Then my friend said:
"No, Derajah, that's your sister."

680
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:35,120
This is where my sister lay.

681
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,760
Right here on earth.

682
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:47,600
When I sing this song,
whether it's on the radio or live, -

683
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:53,760
- then I get a little affected.
Then it all comes crashing back.

684
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:57,440
But I try to do it
as well as possible.

685
01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:02,920
On many different occasions
my sister defended me.

686
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:06,200
There were many battles,
I was not allowed to take, -

687
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:09,520
- because my sister was
like Wonder Woman.

688
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:25,600
I still cry quite often, -

689
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:30,560
- because I can still feel the sadness.

690
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,560
It sits deep in my heart.

691
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:38,120
I can feel it all over my body.

692
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:41,400
It's so sad that it feels
like it was yesterday.

693
01:08:41,480 --> 01:08:45,040
It hurts so much
I'm crying

694
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,920
night and day
tears roll down

695
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,240
even in prayer
I ask Jah-Jah why

696
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:54,920
should it be so?
Can't let go

697
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:58,440
my sister
oh i miss you

698
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:02,240
I am writing this to you
to you I whisper

699
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,760
when you flew your way
then I sighed

700
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:08,120
I feel it in my whole body

701
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:11,320
my sister
oh i miss you

702
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:13,880
I am writing this to you

703
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,600
It's a tough environment.

704
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:20,880
When you drive around, you can see
that poverty ravages everywhere.

705
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:26,440
It is difficult for the police. When as
ideally, the gang can break out.

706
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:29,240
Maybe we should draw our weapons.

707
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:33,880
Sometimes there is someone who
being killed.

708
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,800
I remember that night

709
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:40,480
when they came to take your life

710
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,960
When my sister was shot and killed, -

711
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:49,080
- it was my perfect entry
even becoming a murderer.

712
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:54,000
Luckily I didn't go
in that direction.

713
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:57,840
I am writing this to you
to you I whisper

714
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:01,560
when you flew your way
then I sighed

715
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:15,840
Right here.
- Now we set it up.

716
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,240
Over on that concrete there.

717
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:26,120
I like your place here.
It's beautiful here.

718
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:29,000
We can have a good party here.

719
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:33,320
You have to try everything once.

720
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:39,280
Stand up and accept.

721
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:41,920
1, 2, 3.

722
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:48,440
I have a carousel.
I bought it from my friend Bo-Pee.

723
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:53,000
We were on tour and I talked about
to help the youth of Spring Ground.

724
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:55,960
I wanted to continue
my father's work. He said, -

725
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:58,920
- that if I was interested,
he had a carousel.

726
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:03,920
"Certainly," I said. "I have."
no money now, but you will get it.”

727
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,880
It's hard work.

728
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:28,640
The reward of perseverance is victory.

729
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:33,240
There is no such thing as giving up.
It's not on the menu.

730
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:40,880
Vonetta and I have been together
for 23 years now.

731
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:45,360
I can't find one fault with her.

732
01:11:45,440 --> 01:11:49,000
She can easily find fault with me,
but she is flawless.

733
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:53,600
He always talks about his music.
No matter what the topic is, so…

734
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:57,920
If you say it's raining,
he says, "Listen to that rhythm."

735
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:02,400
If you say you are hungry, he says:
- "Yes, for better music."

736
01:12:02,480 --> 01:12:05,560
It's always about music.
And then he snores.

737
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:30,800
Israel and Ethiopia.
They are two wonderful children.

738
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:34,400
People can't tell the difference between them, -

739
01:12:34,480 --> 01:12:38,800
-but it is wonderful to experience them.

740
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:44,520
They are amazing. Ethiopia says
that she wants to be a ballet dancer.

741
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:48,440
And Israel is already writing songs.

742
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:54,320
Ladies and gentlemen.
I declare the carousel open-

743
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:56,600
- for the public.

744
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:01,920
Many thanks.

745
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:26,560
My life has never been easy.
Just like everyone else's life.

746
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:29,600
Everyone experiences ups and downs.

747
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:32,680
I never had
many material things.

748
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:38,720
All I need is a good one
family life, good vibes, good food...

749
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:43,160
But life is a hard fight.

750
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:48,920
...without girls.
- No, now you are bad. Trust me.

751
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:53,480
I came from that reality
and into Kingston.

752
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:57,480
It was the first time
I experienced starvation.

753
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:09,600
The first time I came to Kingston,
was as a young teenager.

754
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:15,000
I had a hard life there.
I lived there with my mother.

755
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:18,200
It was never easy
and that makes one tough.

756
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:23,080
Many young people on the street say,
that they will not do certain things.

757
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:26,680
But many are dead
or is in prison.

758
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:30,120
You will get to that at some point.

759
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:33,040
All young people who are on the street.

760
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:36,720
At some point you have to choose, -

761
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:41,240
- and I chose to do good things.
To do the right thing.

762
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:44,560
Let go of certain friends
and do the right thing.

763
01:14:47,440 --> 01:14:53,320
Yes we live
forever through the ages

764
01:14:55,120 --> 01:15:01,680
so many times he has
saved me from certain death

765
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:10,440
when I was depressed
he kept my courage up

766
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:16,200
he tells us
live the good life

767
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:18,960
live the good life

768
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:24,200
like Haile
live the good life

769
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:27,680
live the good life

770
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,360
like Markus

771
01:15:30,440 --> 01:15:35,760
you don't know
that love is an action?

772
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:45,960
A simple smile can change
an evil intention

773
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:48,040
so we must

774
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:51,920
we must praise Jah

775
01:15:55,560 --> 01:16:00,720
yes we live
forever through the ages

776
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:10,280
so many times he has
saved me from certain death

777
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:18,040
when I was depressed
he kept my courage up

778
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:22,520
then he said to me
live the good life

779
01:16:24,480 --> 01:16:29,960
That someone has an outlook on life that reminds
about ours, it brings joy.

780
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:32,800
So you know
that even if one falls away, -

781
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:35,640
- then it doesn't end.
It continues.

782
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:44,120
The message that we send out,
is a message that heals us.

783
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:47,200
It lifts us up
and is filled with love.

784
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:52,600
Don't hide your evil intention
behind a smile

785
01:16:56,720 --> 01:17:00,160
We also learn something from them.
We learn something from the young people.

786
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:05,160
And they learn a lot from us.
It is...

787
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:08,960
It's like yin and yang.
That's what happens.

788
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:23,960
Meal time

789
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:27,680
take a break
because it's meal time

790
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:34,640
evening time
work is over it's evening time

791
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,280
Does he know the lyrics?
- So what? Well, it's coming now.

792
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:52,960
When you finish working
on a farm or something, -

793
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:56,720
- and then you have to go home,
then you sing these kinds of little songs-

794
01:17:56,800 --> 01:18:00,280
-to forget the old slave owners.

795
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:05,400
My brother John did research
in our family history.

796
01:18:05,480 --> 01:18:07,960
He went to the national archives.

797
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:12,440
They found out that the MacAnuff family
owned 13 slaves.

798
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:16,920
I said, "Brother John,
you have opened Pandora's box."

799
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,800
six and seven and eight
in a bundle

800
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:24,520
daylight is coming
i want to go home

801
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:27,520
come...

802
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:34,280
daylight is coming
i want to go home

803
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:37,160
come Mr. Count
count my bananas

804
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:40,320
daylight is coming
i want to go home

805
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:45,760
The teller is the one who...
The bananas were carried on their heads.

806
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:49,360
One never carried less than six clusters.

807
01:18:49,440 --> 01:18:54,680
So they said, "Seven and eight and nine and
a bundle." It is the same as ten.

808
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:58,960
They were carried to the counting man,
which gave people a marker.

809
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:03,440
The cursor showed
how many bananas were carried.

810
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:06,200
And then you got money
in relation to that.

811
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:11,440
That is why there is always singing.
It is part of our history.

812
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:21,360
FOR SALE
THESE THREE SLAVES

813
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:24,680
FOR RENT
MALE AND FEMALE SLAVES

814
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:33,000
When the Africans came here,
wasn't it all of them, -

815
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:37,720
- that brought in the idea of slavery.
You couldn't break them.

816
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:43,040
And because of Jamaica's terrain
with mountains in the middle of the island, -

817
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:47,320
- then it was easy for them to escape
to places, -

818
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:52,440
- where the whites couldn't find them.
They did not understand those places.

819
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:11,000
The Maroons...
They were basically warriors.

820
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:16,760
They fought against slavery
and oppression here in the West.

821
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:39,080
This is where they settled.
From here and to Moore Town, near here.

822
01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:43,920
It is the mecca of the Maroons.
This was their home. Their families.

823
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:51,080
There is a story about
a Jamaican woman.

824
01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:54,800
She represents
Jamaican women.

825
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:58,840
She must endure hardship
and carry the rlution on his shoulders.

826
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:05,400
It's Nanny. She represents that,
when you look at the culture of the Maroons, -

827
01:21:05,480 --> 01:21:08,200
- to be born from the energy, -

828
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:11,120
- which comes from a black woman,
which builds up its society.

829
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:21,640
that's it
the Maroons represent in Jamaica.

830
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:25,440
That you can have self-confidence.

831
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:45,720
This song is an anthem
for all black women-

832
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:49,120
- because of the matches,
they have had to fight.

833
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:53,840
Our foremothers, our aunts,
our great-great-grandmothers.

834
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:59,400
The injustice and the struggles
they have had to fight, -

835
01:21:59,480 --> 01:22:02,720
-in life and during slavery.

836
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:05,560
Black woman
black woman

837
01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:09,560
I know you have been fighting for a long time

838
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:13,240
I can feel your thoughts

839
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:17,040
I dedicate my song to you

840
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:22,880
You start your career in Jamaica
here and be known here, -

841
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:25,360
- but then you want to go abroad.

842
01:22:25,440 --> 01:22:30,440
But I couldn't leave,
because I was pregnant.

843
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:35,000
And because I stayed here,
then I met Sonia Pottinger, -

844
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:39,000
- the only female producer
at that time.

845
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:44,240
She sent one to my house for
to say that she would like to meet.

846
01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:51,320
She wanted to record with me,
and it became my first solo record.

847
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:58,240
Your path has never been easy

848
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:02,080
your burden has been heavy

849
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:06,920
We were pioneers, so we suffered
under the consequences thereof, -

850
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:11,680
- so it could be easier
for the young women of today.

851
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:16,360
Pray for strength
I dedicate my song to you

852
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:20,960
It's different with Judy
than with the older men.

853
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:25,240
With another woman it works
not about how old you are.

854
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:29,600
You bond
to each other as sisters.

855
01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:54,440
These are the words she sings.

856
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:58,240
And she sang them then.

857
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:02,840
Back then it could have hurt
her career and her life.

858
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:08,560
When you fight
so fight for what is right

859
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:11,520
and not what is wrong

860
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:14,800
I heard that Rachel
mourned his children

861
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,160
then Herod and the Pharaoh
took their lives

862
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:22,440
People don't want to hear strong messages
from a natural, dark-skinned woman.

863
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:25,640
Not even nowadays.

864
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:31,520
Judy doesn't sing that song
so often more.

865
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:35,320
And I know there are so many
black women's favorite song.

866
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:38,800
We play it often
in our own free space.

867
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:54,560
We've all sung choirs before.
We are used to supporting others, -

868
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:59,640
- and now it's our turn, and we know
how it should be done.

869
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:04,400
Judy's second verse,
after we sing the second la-da-da.

870
01:25:04,480 --> 01:25:09,200
Where the horns come in.
Something has to be put in there.

871
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:11,120
Give us from…

872
01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:14,040
Jah9 did the song justice.

873
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:18,440
she told me
that she has loved me over the years.

874
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:24,400
And Rovleta is a young woman.
An excellent singer, -

875
01:25:24,480 --> 01:25:28,360
-which I love.

876
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:33,840
It was just pure love.

877
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:58,600
i loved
that the musicians were somewhere else, -

878
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:03,720
- outside on the veranda,
and we were inside the living room, -

879
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:07,200
- but we were all together
inna de yard.

880
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:10,840
My mother
my foremothers

881
01:26:12,480 --> 01:26:16,200
you are a black black black
a black woman

882
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:24,640
you are a black black black
a black woman

883
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:26,920
Paris
France

884
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:31,800
Life and our musical journey
is not easy.

885
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:35,480
And when you see living legends
as Cedric do it, -

886
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:40,760
- Winston and Kiddus you do it,
all the great ones who came before us, -

887
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:43,960
- when I see them
in reality, -

888
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:48,400
- is it easy for me to handle it,
because you just have to live.

889
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:11,320
I'm happy to be
in company with them.

890
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:15,440
We grew up in the same era, -

891
01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:21,040
- and they are my colleagues and
business partners. Musically speaking.

892
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:27,240
MacAnuff loves music.
He loves to sing.

893
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:30,960
The small, short man
just love music.

894
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:34,040
He loves music.

895
01:28:34,120 --> 01:28:36,320
Cedric is a big man.

896
01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:40,240
He is one of
the happiest people in the business.

897
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:43,520
Cedric makes one smile.

898
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:48,240
He says things that get one
to smile. He is full of life.

899
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:53,600
And he can sing.
He sounds like Smokey Robinson.

900
01:28:57,160 --> 01:29:01,320
I don't believe in fame.
It has nothing to do with talent.

901
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:07,200
Lots of talented people
are not famous.

902
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:10,920
But they have talent.
This is Kiddus I.

903
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:16,520
He can write songs and sing.
He has written songs for me.

904
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:34,200
It's a family.

905
01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:40,800
God created us all.
He did not create just one singer.

906
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:44,360
That is why the Bible says:
"And those who sing, -"

907
01:29:44,440 --> 01:29:48,880
- and those who play instruments,
they must be there.

908
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:52,280
"All my sources are in you."

909
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:03,760
Are you ready?

910
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:03,920
Sing about freedom!

911
01:31:57,720 --> 01:32:00,720
Many thanks!
Thank you very much!

912
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:05,800
Thank you!
Have a good evening and come home safely.

913
01:32:07,120 --> 01:32:10,760
Many thanks.
This is something very special.

914
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:19,760
We love you guys!

915
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:24,200
We love you guys!

916
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:34,720
Many thanks. Thanks.
