Episode: Garnett Ankle--Solidarity

Jamaica, the island of reggae celebrates its 56th anniversary as a politically independent nation tomorrow, August 6. Garnett takes you back and plays some of the early festival song winners since its inception in 1966. A great mix of ska, rocksteady, and reggae are played.

Garnett also remembers Irvin "Carrot" Jarrett in songs. Carrot, as he was affectionately called was a percussionist with Third World Reggae Band up to the 1980s died suddenly at his home on July, 31, 2018.

What's Your Point? takes a break this week. Listen and enjoy almost three hours of top class Jamaican music from the formative years.
