Entry seven

I’ve learnt the name of the country which is St. Jago de la Vega or Spanish Town and some of their major music artiste such as Bob Marley who sang about freedom and opened the wider world to Jamaican culture, life style, language and music. In the 80's reggae music took on a new form called rub-a-dub, in which a new style came out, instead of singing the artist chanted. Lieutenant Stitchie and Papa Stan were two of the first artists to adapt this style. Lieutenant Stitchie was considered the most lyrical and Papa Stan the fastest. They sang about their community, women, violence and what was happen in their lives. But today the Lieutenant and Papa Stan are converted to Christianity. The reason for this change is the spiking rise in crime in the area. They are now singing songs to bring folks closer to God and about their various religions and foods and traditional wears. Their culture is not strange to me because Trinidad has a lot of the same cultures as them the new information I’ve learnt influences the way I communicate now cause it gives me a broader knowledge on communication the various slangs and non verbal communication of another country.
