You will enjoy the versatility in his music ranging from Jamaican Patois, Downtempo, Electronica and so much more. It's an awesome fusion of culture and world music. 'The best person to define the work is Glideascope himself. He calls his music, “The soundtrack for a movie never created.” Hearing it brings to mind some visually stunning films like Blade Runner, The Last Samurai, and Cry Freedom.' Please imagine for a moment the scene, feelings and impact of this event: Glideascope was riding on the underground train a few metres away from one that was blown up in a terrorist attack. With the horrific images from the London Bombings of July 7th 2005 seared in his mind, Glideascope retreated. He reflected and tried to find meaning. When he finally returned home to music, he was stunned to find over 4,000 messages from devoted fans on his My Space page. He started to think that maybe he was on the right path after all. Maybe his music did have a bigger purpose. So, sit back relax have a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of wine. Enjoy some good conversation and music. It's Wednesday time to kick back and refresh for the week...


08/26/09--17:00: Celebrating Jamaican Proverbs - The Wit & Wisdon of "Jamaican Talk" - Aug 27,2009 (chan 2984417)

Proverbs are brief didactic statements forming an important element in the oral culture of Jamaica . Not only do they give spice to everyday conversation but they also serve as an educational and social function, assisting children to learn the norms of the society. Although originating from two main cultures, West Africa and Europe , some proverbs are purely Jamaican and reflect the wit, wisdom and vitality of the cultural mix. Unlike Memory Gems that are moral or Christian based, Proverbs are simply sayings or statements of fact. They can be used to influence the behaviors of others, suggesting a course of action, passing judgment through criticism, ridicule, warning, or defiance "Island talk, like Island food, is well spiced" Join us as we continue to Celebrate, Enlighten & Preserve the rich culture of Jamaica; “Land We Love”
