WAGRadio presents THE JAMAICAN MENTO TRIO - B.B. KING (The Jamaican) AND THE WESTERNERS - 1992


HAVING ACCESS TO THE DJZigZag VIDEO LIBRARY HAS PROMPTED US TO START A CYCLE OF ADDING MORE ORIGINAL VIDEOS TO THIS SITE ! !
SO IN THE NEAR FUTURE YOU'LL SEE A CHANGE IN WHAT VIDEOS WILL BE APPEARING HERE . . .
MAYBE NOT SO FOLKSY AS THIS ONE.
BUT WE WILL BE GOING BACK AND ADDING VIDEO FROM THE HUGE STORE OF CLASSIC NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSIC PERFORMANCES
(some from JAPAN courtesy Al Shimokura).

SO LET'S START WITH THIS . . .
The Grand Lido all-inclusive resort on Bloody Bay (Negril, Jamaica) had been open for six months in August of 1992 when DJZigZag and Mrs. ZigZag (she's the lady in the head-scarf listening) stayed there for ten days. It was such a great place that they convinced pals of theirs to go back a few years later. Unfortunately, by then the compact piano bar with the wonderful Jamaican Rhythm'n'Blues and Pop singer had been replaced by a karaoke machine and the beautifully soulful Mento trio of B.B. King and The Westerners no longer filled the former Aristotle Onnasis yacht with song. Still, the Grand Lido was a marvelous vacation destination but just not as much of a real Jam-Rock treat as when The Westerners and the piano bar entertainer plied their soulful trade.
