Peter Tosh– TODAY marks the 28th year since reggae’s most famous rebel, Peter Tosh, was brutally murdered at his upper St Andrew home. The incident occured on Friday, September 11, 1987. Interestingly, it happened like this year, on the day the Rastafari community to which he was firmly committed celebrates the Ethiopian New Year. “As one of reggae’s chief standard bearers for over two decades, Peter Tosh developed a reputation as the ultimate rebel of an indigenous Third World music form that has gained widespread international acceptance,” wrote the late journalist Fitzroy Nation for the now defunct St Catherine Reporter. Nation stated that on that fateful night, almost three decades ago, the 43-year-old Tosh became the latest victim in a seemingly unending cycle of violence.

By Mel Cooke— Duane Stephenson—- It has been eight years – and an album in between (Black Gold, 2010) – from Duane Stephenson released From August Town (2007) to his current Dangerously Roots(released September 2014) set.
