    It’s funny, I’m a white, English Jew. We grew up on all these tracks as kids in london. I didn’t know until I moved to the UAE that these were Jamaican/West Indies tracks, I just thought these were ubiquitous. Moving out of london, breaking the link between the west indies and U.K. you realise the root of the music you love.
