Jamaican ghetto upholds Marley legacy
BBC News – Jun 28, 2007
These days people in Trenchtown a gritty violence-wracked district of Kingston don’t gather around logwood fires sup on communal broth and sing songs any longer. Life has moved on in Bob Marley country. But 26 years after the death of the reggae superstar Trenchtown which gave birth to reggae music and its legend is trying to showcase its most prominent resident’s legacy. It is all happening in the “government yard” the public housing project where Marley lived and which he sang about famously in his songs. This was also where he wrote his first songs learnt to play the guitar met fellow musicians like Peter Tosh and went on to form the Wailers reggae’s most famous band. He also travelled to a studio from the ghetto to record their first album Catch A Fire. This yard – a warren of 16 cramped rooms where Marley and his friends lived – are being restored by Jamaican architect Christopher Whyms-Stone with help from donations from the British German Canadian and American embassies.
Wish You Were Here: Baltimore
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette – Pittsburgh Post Gazette – Jun 28, 2007
After walking around in a happy daze for more than an hour we snagged an open table just as the live reggae music fired up and we dug in to our meal — a gigantic crab cake a paper bag of locally made Utz potato chips and a foam container overflowing with steaming macaroni and cheese sweet potatoes and collard greens. Welcome to the Lexington Market which is very big very African American and very fun. Facades brag that it is the “World Famous Lexington Market. ” The buildings it’s housed in built in 1952 and renovated in 2002 cover two city blocks. But the market named for the first battle of the Revolutionary War started in the open air in 1782.
Rexdale festival makes some noise
Toronto Star – Jun 28, 2007
Rocio for one plans to show up on stage on Saturday when the students who’ve been attending workshops since April join forces with the professionals to put on a neighbourhood festival. The performances tomorrow and Saturday on a stage next to the community centre are the finale to a project known as urbanNISE: Urban Arts Youth Training. In other spaces around Rexdale teenagers have been learning step dancing (the urban variety) from Black Ice members Joseph Sackey and Dionne Green or stand-up comedy from Kenny Robinson or reggae music from Blessed and Humble. "Laura and myself worked about four years ago in the Jamestown area" says Tolley referring to the housing complex just south of the community centre best known in the media as the site of a shooting or the residence of a victim of a crime. But that’s not what struck Mullin and Tolley.
