Two posts in two consecutive days?! What the hell has gotten into me?! Suddenly I've got this urge to compile theme mixes and just like yesterday, following no rhyme or reason. Today I've got one devoted to produce. Yes, you've read that correct... produce; fruits and vegetables. There are a lot of Jamaican songs that deal with cooked food but I just have the intention of exploring the fresh food stalls here at the market.We start off today's trip to the market with an intro from the late great Louise "Ms. Lou" Bennett and the classic "Linstead Market," from there... it's gonna be a flavorful excursion into Jamaican music just perfect for a Thursday afternoon. Come with an empty stomach because when you're done with this mix you're gonna be stuffed!

How great are you for providing us with these nourishing mixes? Soooo Great!! Thanks, from me and my ears.
Yet again just killing it with these mixes. I'm a food journo and old school reggae fan and this is pretty much the finest combination of the two I could imagine.
It's more calypso than reggae, but George Symonette's "Don't Touch Me Tomato" is a favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zbkkVVSh3U
finally listened to this mix last week and i love the diversity of it, even though its the same subject.
gracias!
Ital food is a must!
Positively revived I structure with your supplements ...

Blessings & Greetings
