They are all in my archival-lyrics slangs and interpretations. A so wi stay! – RAS CARDO REGGAE	added by anonymous 2 years ago

We had to come up with our own ways of replicating the sort of pushing we need to do. So that's why we thought: why not go out and push the car? we do get some funny looks. We've had people run over, thinking the car's broken down, trying to help us bump-start the car. When we tell them we're the Jamaica bobsleigh team, the direction is totally different, and they're very excited. – Shanwayne Stephens	Found on Reuters 3 years ago

it was my trench town reggae in the music of the rasta messengers like-burning spear- culture(joseph hill)- and others that taught the world that- christopher columbus was a liar. He did not discover jamaica nor america. So why are we still honoring him today? – RAS CARDO REGGAE	added by anonymous 4 years ago
my reggae was created to teach the message of truth to the people , especially the youths. Jamaican youths and others all over the world face a most daunting and doubting future because they will not know the true history from which they came. Black people have been mis -educated for years. How many black youths today in america know about the 1811-slave revolt in the louisiana -manchar swamp? how many knew that -christopher columbus- did not discover america? how many youths in jamaica knew that columbus did not discover jamaica? and what about the slave rebellion in morant bay? if we lose our history, we lose ourselves and identity as a people. My reggae teaches the people. – RAS CARDO REGGAE	added by anonymous 4 years ago
I wrote the book- to generations yet unborn- in trench town during my high school years as a prophecy of my reggae predictions. as a visionary, I saw what the jamaica today would become, if, and only if the status quo would help and respect the poor and disadvantaged people. jamaica and the world today does not surprise me. my reggae does not care if you are black or white just as long as you can make what is wrong- right! I am ras cardo, the creator. – RAS CARDO REGGAE	added by anonymous 4 years ago
reggae and the jamaican economy. I/we from trench town knew this all along that's why we put the messages in a song. It took the financial sector of jamaica so many years to let the world know about- the reggae dollars fate. Now the boj announced the truth, let us wait and see how this benefits the youths. I am ras cardo from trench town who created reggae there in 1962. – RAS CARDO REGGAE	added by anonymous 4 years ago
ras cardo speaks: one of the greatest blunders and mistakes jamaica has made to-reggae- is the ostracizing and exclusion of the trench town people from the rest of the society. they never knew us, because they never wanted to get to know us. so, now, when I hear them talking about reggae music as their- cultural export - one wonders, who are they fooling? the damage is already done. – RAS CARDO REGGAE	added by anonymous 4 years ago
Reggae truth- the real -culture yard- in trench town was at the back of my tenement yard. What the media and jamaica has called-culture yard-was just another place where bob marley and some of us used to visit. I will not disclose any further details of this location because I know that there are people who would love to have this detailed information in their arsenal. It had a certain name. So far, what jamaica has advertised as bob marley's place of carousing was not the real trench town culture yard. The jamaican media has been wrong in many things reggae and of trench town, and they refused to learn the truth from those who know it, and lived it. I am ras cardo from trench town.

My message to jamaica is simple. This is 2019-I, ras cardo, reggae creator from trench town comes now and say:- you can change the report, but you cannot change the history of trench town. What is done , cannot be undone! – RAS CARDO REGGAE	added by anonymous 4 years ago
