VARIOUS ARTISTS - RAGGA NACION
Various Artists "Ragga Nacion" Album Review
Great Package
Looks like I needed to revise my review (again). Amazon is now offering this package for $16.23, in the DVD/CD format which is less than the CD/DVD format. Same product, just different packaging. So buy the DVD/CD format and save some money. All the original hits, some new hits, classic videos, new videos, plus some gorgeous babes and the Lowrider Car of the Year. Great Value, Great Package. Machete Records releaseed another great CD/DVD package entitled "The Beginning" which includes both major Puerto Rican Artists and International Artists. It is truly the best of the best, and you have not seen these songs all over the place.

SIZZLA - LIFE
Sizzla "Life" Album Review
A SEQUEL WOULD BE WELCOMED!
I have viewed this interesting documentary, three times since 2001.
It is looking at the conditions of poverty and desperation inflicted on poor countries, such as Jamaica, by the agenda and policies of international agencies such as the International monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.
At first, I found the documentary overdramatic--propaganda filled. In my opinion then, it did not adequately address the issue of the true nature of neo-liberalism ('globalization') in poor countries.
After reexamining the documentary, I concluded that the 'dramatization' may be necessary to convey the message effectively to people far removed from the scene of "Third World" poverty.
I am also wondering if the creators of "Life and Debt" have looked into the role of the local middle class in the perpetuation of the social and economic issues illustrated in the film.
Who are the local beneficiaries of IMF policies in the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa and Asia?
Perhaps, the local representatives of imperialism--rightwing and "Left-lites"--the lumpen-bourgeoisie!
Historically, members of this class worked to resist meaningful change coming from the people.
They work through their media and institutions to direct discontent and popular demands into the opportunistic arms of the main political parties, ensuring that the status quo of inequality from which their privileges spring, is not disrupted.
In fact, these political parties have ruled since independence, with a firm hand, using the police force brutally, with impunity against the people.
A sequel to "Life and Debt" would be welcomed, if it examines debt and poverty in the third world from a more historical and critical perspective.
"Life and Debt" is still a great documentary. I recommend it highly!

CREATION DUB - WACKIES
Creation dub "Wackies" Album Review
Album Description
Since its original release in 1977, Creation Dub has been sought after by reggae bounty hunters. This is a key Bullwackies dub album and every track is a killer.
