The people at Burden have kept pointing me to interesting stories, videos etc. for a couple of days now. One of their latest blog entries was about Wackie´s being featured in the New York Times. Must read for all reggae people:

“It was like the reggae Motown in the Bronx,” said Ras Menelik DaCosta, 54, a percussionist with a white dreadlocked beard who jammed at the space. “People get wives just from being there; some people became fathers. It took on a life of its own.”
