A REGGAE EDUCATION FOR A HEALING OF THE NATION-TRENCH-TOWN MUST RISE-RASTAFARI LIVETH! (c)2009 Ras Cardo Speaks.

Trench-Town Reggae legend, historian, author, educator, inventor, musician, humanitarian, advocate, and keeper of the Trench-Town Ark of the Reggae covenant continues on in the works of his brethrens for those who are poor and down trodden especially in the ghettoes of Trench-Town from where he came and all over the world.

After naming the music in 1962 in the back of his yard along with Joe Higgs, Alvin "seeco" patterson, Junior Braithwaite, Garth Dennis, Peter-Tosh and many others, his parents made certain that he would never forget about his schooling. With his creation/invention safely guarded he began to focus more on his academics while still being a mentor and close friend to all those in the area such as Bob Marley, and Peter-Tosh.

Today he remains the only elder from those times who keeps the history of that legacy alive for the world to know the truth about how it was for all of them in those Trench-Town ghettoes. He has the archives and the history which many seek to acquire as to the origination, creation and foundation of Reggae. No one else has the intimate details as to their livity since those times. He has worked tirelessly to correct all those who have continued to write and publish falsehoods about a life they lived and endured in the harsh realities of Trench-Town.

Being an original wailing wailer with Junior Braithwaite and Garth Dennis, these triumvirate Reggae pioneers were the ones responsible for the creation and foundation of what the world now knows as Reggae music. They knew when Bob Marley first came to join them in Trench-Town. They shared love and protected him while they rehearsed their songs which became classic Trench-Town anthems that the world knows today. The sad fact however is that the Trench-Town people still live in abject poverty. This is why Ras Cardo must continue to help those who are poor and underprivileged. This is why they created the music. Bob Marley had said it- "We free the people with music". Ras cardo continues the legacy to help the people and put an end to the suffering that he too knew so well. He has written several books including- The true Trench-Town Story, and his latest- Love in Black and white 2009 published by www.xlibris.com.
