CANADA-BASED SINGER LEROY BROWN, TO RELEASE HIS LATEST SONG “AFRICA IS CALLING” IN EARLY JANUARY!
After leaving Trench Town in the late 1960s, Brown settled in eastern Kingston where there was also a vibrant Rasta community.
There, he became a member of two talented groups, The Emotions and Hippy Boys, which at various times had the future Wailers rhythm section of Aston “Family Man” Barrett and Carlton Barrett as members. Bassist Robbie Shakespeare, singer Audley Rollen and drummer Benbow Creary, were also part of that setup.
In the early 1970s, Brown migrated to Toronto, Canada and became part of that region’s burgeoning reggae scene.
Twenty years ago, he won Canada’s Juno Award for Reggae Recording of The Year with Rent A Tile.
