Reggae brings back Love

THE EDITOR, Sir:
IT IS with a tremendous sense of pride and admiration I read the story featuring Luciano and his new release "Serve Jah." Reggae music has long been one of Jamaica's greatest natural resources and as Burning Spear might say "The World Should Know." The impact and proposed social rehabilitation represented by reggae music could never be more important than it is today. Humanity is in chaos and spiritual soldiers like Luciano give hope and guidance to those who know not where to turn.
Music has profound inspiration and direction, unifying races and cultures through the common desire for love. Jamaica's tremendous musical legacy is a treasure to be extremely proud of. Many of your artistes also give to local charities. Reggae is a tremendous draw for cultural tourism. Artists and promoters like Tony Rebel have contributed professional sophistication through showcases like the ever growing popular "Rebel Salute."
I have been a visitor to Jamaica since the seventies. Reggae music is a critical part of the cultural and natural charisma of the country. Promoting, praising, and perpetuating the careers of your incredible reggae artistes will increase recognition and access to reggae music on a worldwide level, not only benefitting the beautiful little island of Jamaica, but worldwide humanity as well. MORE LOVE!
