Yes, the original Chinese that came to Jamaica around 1854 did. Even our Jamaica cuisine and cooking styles are highly influenced by Chinese. Chinese other influences or origins: Coal pot stove Burning coal (man made coal) Dutch Pot Oil lamp Food seasoning styles Pastry & bakery Bamboo rafting Games like Jacks, skipping, Hop-scotch, marbles.

I just stumbled upon your channel today, and I am delighted to see that someone has picked up the gauntlet and is putting this information out there on KZitem. To me, Reggae Music is just the most precious and astounding thing. It's not just the music itself, even, but the history of it. I have spent THOUSANDS (truly) of hours of my life listening to it and reading about it and Jamaica generally. Did you know that, if one stacked every Reggae record one on top of another, the resulting tower would be well over 100 stories tall? There is nowhere else in the world with a per capita output of music like this (this is a fact, not my opinion), and yet so many of its key figures are virtually unknown in most of the world. All the best.

Often times when some of the artist tell their stories you hear the names get mentioned and if you are from a particular area where the sound system or the business is then you'll hear them mentioned. As is the case with a lot of things we mainly think of the people in the limelight and not those in the background making it all happen so that the limelight folks can shine.

This is an important topic in the annals of Reggae and Jamaican music on the whole. Great that you tackled it. First up though, Byron Lee, with all the praises and accolades he deserves, did no such thing as “invented Rocksteady”!! His band at that time was merely a copier/coverer of the real roots music. Nobody 'invented' Rocksteady; it was part of the musical continuum. Any probable credit should go to Tommy McCook and Lynn Taitt who first experimented with slowing the beat down-- sample record: Treasure Isle's “Girl I've Got a Date” by Hopeton Lewis, and perhaps Jackie Mittoo who followed at Studio One with “Fattie Fattie”/“Ram Jam” (vocals by The Heptones). Whoever you interviewed to tell you that that credit goes to BL&D was either grossly mistaken or had an axe to grind! And, regardless of the disclaimer you made that it's only a handful of the Chinese contributors you'll look at here, a ten-minute treatment won't suffice! It didn't offer enough data in some places and also missed some key info altogether. To wit, at 0:29 I see Herman Chinloy of Aquarius Records but heard no mention of him; plus nothing about Kes Chin of the Souvenirs and the brothers Sonny and Victor Wong of The Mighty Vikings. And I'm not sure if Bunny Lee isn't part Chinese too, like Tom "Sebastian" Wong (mentioned) was, and Sean Paul (not mentioned) is. Then, Mikey & Jeffery Chung, and Tami & Tessanne Chin also come to my mind. So, Missa RAS, please plan to redo and expand this one in future. Again, as I told you in a previous posting, you're doing a fantastic job. PS:- I didn't grow up in Kingston and so had no idea that Tom “The Great Sebastian” was half-Chinese. Thanks! 💌 --Æ.
