“The festival was initiated in 1962 by then Minister of Community
Development (and later Prime Minister) Edward Seaga, to
showcase literary, fine, and performing artists, and to celebrate
"things Jamaican." The festival was considered integral to national
development as a way of giving Jamaicans a sense of who
they are, and what their history and culture is all about. The
festival was scheduled for the first Monday in August, to coincide
with the holiday to celebrate both Independence and Emancipation.
The festival includes agricultural exhibitions, and
street parades, climaxing in a grand gala at Kingston's National
Stadium. Supporting events take place all over the island. A
formal organizing group, the Jamaica Festival Commission was
established by an Act of Parliament in 1968, which became the
Jamaica Cultural Development Commission ,(JCDC) by another
Parliamentary Act in 1980.Today, the administrative structure
includes a large volunteer-base with a JCDC officer appointed
to oversee activities in each parish. The festival now includes
the Miss Jamaica Festival Queen Contest, a national Mento
band competition, and a Gospel Song competition.”

“Papa Michigan (born Anthony Fairclough)
and General Smiley (born Errol
Bennett) were among the first dual-toasters
on the first wave of Dancehall style in Jamaica.
Beginning in the late 1970s while
still in school, the humorous duo (Smiley
got his name because he never smiles)
scored immediately with "Rub a Dub
Style" and a toasted Real Rock version
named "Nice up the Dance."
Errol Bennett shouldn't be confused with
the Jazz-Funk percussionist mostly known
as Errol.”
Papa Michigan now perusing his solo career
and doing it great. He has many hit
songs since the duo and remain relevant in
and out the dancehall. His greatest comeback
is his festival song, “JAMAICA
DANCE” “Bubble baby Bubble” which
earn him the #2 spot at the song completion
finals 2020 that came in at number 2
to the legendary dancehall Great Buju
Banton who will tell you that even he himself
follows in the footstep of Papa Michigan
in this music we called Reggae.
All Papa Michigan fans world wide
thought he would have won but Buju Banton
song, “I’m a Jamaican” took precedence.
In the mean time Papa Michigan congratulated
Buju Banton on a victorious win.
He also mention that all the top ten finalist
are winners cause there was over 200
songs entered and to be the final 10 you’re
a winner and most of all he gives great
admiration for Toots who stand the test of
times and still here after 54 years as the
first winner in 1966 with “BAM BAM.”
Its amazing to share the stage with him and
even for that he is grateful and humble for
the experience..
Papa Michigan has always been an optimistic
human being who believes you can
do what ever your mind and thought conceived
if you put in the work. As a true
Jamaican he always want to enter the national
song competition and he did.
He is very happy for the results and eagerly
urges all his fans to respect and accept
the decision of the finals and hope we
can do it a next time and most of all thanking
all his fans for their support over the
years.
For his newest album project, dance hall deejay
Papa Michigan had one desire: for it to be different.
And, fortunately for him, the man who
wears “different” like a badge of honor, DJ Dre
Ghost, was only too happy to oblige.
“When he said he wanted something different, I
was on board. Different is my middle name,” the
sought-after producer told The Sunday Gleaner
from a hospital waiting room in Los Angeles last
Wednesday. A super excited DJ Dre Ghost was
eagerly awaiting the arrival of his first granddaughter,
but he still managed to retain some of
the joy associated with his Michigan project.
The album is titled, “Put Your Loving On Me,”
and Grammy winner, Dre Ghost produced six of
the tracks.
“I’m excited for both of us,” he shared. “The
album sounds great. I enjoyed working on this
project. We finished up yesterday, and today,
I’m having a granddaughter. (I have a grandson,
too.) To do something with Michigan is great.
He’s a legend, and I love working with legends.”
But frankly speaking, producer Dre Ghost is
himself a legend whose name has long been associated
with heavyweight American rap group,
Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. His music has appeared
in the movie Barber Shop and is used
often by major network television program Fox,
MTV, VH1, ESPN, in their programs and/or
commercials.
“Listed as one of the original innovators of rap
music, his early influences came from such artistes
as Earth Wind N Fire, Rolling Stones, Parliament
Funk adelic, Pink Floyd, and Jimmy
Hendrix. He confirmed to The Sunday Gleaner
that his first major project came when he coproduced
East 1999 for Bone Thugs-N-
Harmony. The album East 1999 broke The
Beatles’ 30-year record for the longest-standing
#1 album and won a Grammy Award. DJ Dre
Ghost’s production of their single, The Cross
Roads, reportedly sold two million units, propelling
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to super group
status.”Dre Ghost was introduced to Papa Michigan
about a year and a half ago by a mutual
friend, but he already knew of the Jamaican entertainer.
“Of course, I knew about Papa Michigan
and Smiley,” he said of the duo which had a
series of smash hits in the ’80s.”
“I have always been a fan of reggae. Bob
Marley, Gregory Isaacs, Buju Banton are up
there. I also like Soca. Actually, I listen to
everything and mix it like a gumbo,” he said.
Dre Ghost and Michigan formed a natural
bond, which, not surprisingly, transcended
into a musical collaboration. He gave the deejay
a few tracks, which Michigan took to Jamaica
and did his thing, which, according to
Dre Ghost, “blew me away”.
Papa Michigan’s 13-track album comprises
remixed and brand-new songs that are written
and produced by him, along with a cast of
cutting edge co-producers, engineers, and
musicians.
“Put Your Loving On Me”, the title track,
enjoyed its pre-release in September 2019,
and Michigan says that it has made its way
into the top 10 on charts in the Caribbean as
well as globally in Africa – Nigeria, Ghana,
Gambia, and Senegal; Europe – the UK and
France; and the Americas – USA, Canada,
Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil.
“The single is doing way better than I had
even imagined. I wanted something different
for this album, and I am happy with the outcome.
Thanks to all the persons who worked
with me on this project. Sometimes, in life,
you meet persons who, in no time, become
family, and that’s the vibe with me and Dre
Ghost,” he said, echoing Dre Ghost’s own
sentiments. The album, Put Your Loving On
Me, will have its official launch on January
2020.
Papa Michigan made his name with hit songs
including Rub A Dub Style, Nice Up de
Dance, One Love Jam down, and Diseases.”
A real example to our life Papa Michigan has
never record a song promoting hate or death
towards anyone but prophetic songs with
educational lyrics and we grew up listening
his music which help to make us who we are
today and for that we thank you Papa Michigan

We all know that this US constitution was built for “We the people.”
But somehow the people who don't believe in equality has create a system
to oppress others and becomes so good at it that even in the 21st century
we have to remind ourselves that black people lives matters. Most of our
people are stuck on the Obama Presidency and it is not okay cause in actuality
its in the past.
The current President ran an Election on what he says he was going to do.
He won so why are we surprise, now the most civilize thing to do is to
celebrate the winner and move on hoping that he will be President for
those who vote for him and those who didn't , now the true democratic
ideology is we support the winner. There will be always watch dogs both
in the media and in Congress, we must always remember that even though
you didn't vote for him he still remains our President. He has a heart and
feelings and a family who believed in him even before he became President,
as he is still a human being who got a job to care and protect the
American people. We should not tear him down or twist his word into
creating a different narrative than what its original intent.
Of course he will say things that are divisive and has no value of what we
stands for and that may be the very same true reason why you didn't vote
for him in the first place. However we still has to hold him up and remind
him that’s not what our Constitution stands for without tearing him apart
cause he is still our sitting President.
What I observed is the right wing supporters did the same thing to Pres.
Obama. Now the left is doing it even worse to the Donald.
Which led me to ask when will this nonsense stop. Knowing our President
is not our Enemy, he may be on a different side of ideas, which may make
him an opponent, but (not an Enemy). America has the most law abiding
Citizen in the world. We are a beacon of democracy lets show the world
how we play the game of democracy.
Without polarizing and lying, hating, and putting things out of content just
to satisfy hate and jealousy.
In this life time I see its only 45 Persons has got this Job. They get a
chance to represents 300 million people and bring there family to be first
family of the nation and enjoy all the perks that comes from our tax payers.
We should not be upset but use the Constitution as our guide and to
the best of our ability
Instead of tearing a sitting President down, We should just wait to vote the
next 4 years for who and what matters to you.
This has been a great concern to me cause America is the greatest country
to live in based on the Constitution and we should with all means protect
it, uphold it, Practice it, live it, be it, export it, and spread it!
The humanities has long await it securities and freedom of speech, freedom
of press, and the freedom to pursue happiness and wealth.
And I must take this great opportunity to thank all the military personnel
on the frontline holding up and protecting our values and Ideology. I plead
to our security forces when they come home please don't kill them because
they or black while driving.
And always be there for them in every way we can cause they made a
great sacrifice to be on the front line while we at home enjoying what
they are fighting for. God bless America and all our Allied.
Lets support our leader if we don't like his performance every 4 years we
know what to do. We don't have to lie and tear him down. He is someone
Dad, someone friend, someone family member and our fellow American .
We Celebrate winners that’s what we do.
Thank you “GUZIGAR”

Words: A Memoir "The Greatest
Depression of A Black
Girl" will take you through
a challenging phase in my life.
Where coming home to heal
would be a journey lead by
God to mend my broken heart.
To sober up and face all that
was hurting me. To let go and
allow God to move in a way
that would heal my inner child
for me to breathe freely and
deeply as the woman he has
called me to be. My poetry
book "BLAQ GURL BLU 2
NU" is an anthology of poems
that will take you through my
darkest hour to my enlightenment
in being called by God.
How grateful I am to no longer
rely on man to make me feel
whole, but a God who has reminded
me that he is always in
control. My story is for women
who feel forgotten and who
feel have to carry their bags
when God is simply saying
leave everything at my altar
and pick up your cross and
walk!

Did you know Marcus is the FIRST human
to be Deported from the US And the
first to be probe by the FBI? IN FACT THE FBI
WAS FORMED TO WATCH MARCUS GARVEY ..Bob Magazine
Marcus “Mosiah” Garvey Jr. O.N.H. was a Jamaican political
activist, publisher, journalist, entrepreneur, and orator. He was
the founder and first President-General of the Universal Negro
Improvement Association and African Communities League,
through which he declared himself Provisional President of Africa.
Marcus “Mosiah” Garvey born August 17, 1887 in the Garden
Parish of St. Ann, Jamaica, a parish that Produce many more
great such as Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Iqula, Shaba Ranks,
and Many more. Roger Stone who most people thinks he is a
raciest strongly believe that President Trump should pardon
Garvey and the Buju Banton.
“The only person I have advocated a pardon for," Stone answered,
"is Marcus Garvey.” “Marcus Garvey? As in Marcus
Mosiah Garvey, the legendary black nationalist leader who
nearly a century ago inspired Liberation Movements in colonized
Africa and the Caribbean? Garvey, who advocated selfgovernance,
economic and political empowerment, and a “Back
to Africa” movement for black people in the Diaspora?” This is a
surprise to many including one of Garvey’s sons, Julius Garvey,
a vascular surgeon who lives in New York, said “he was also
surprised by the campaign by Stone to pardon his father but did
not object to it.”
“Who would have imagined Roger Stone would be involved in
this?" said Michael K. Fauntroy, associate professor of Political
Science and acting Director of the Ronald Walters Leadership
and Public Policy Center at Howard University. "Stone has been
a master manipulator throughout his career. That he would attach
himself so closely with Marcus Garvey is unusual, to say the
least. Marcus Garvey, for those who know him, is a hero and a
figure of historical significance. He was clearly targeted by the
government for his beliefs and actions. Maybe Stone sees some
kinship in that regard. “
