Customer comments on this selection.
 Capturing Jamaica Culture
I am so happy I found this CD. I remember as child in Jamaica watching Miss Lou on Saturday morning. I actually purchased it to capture part of our culture that has begun to fade. Excellent CD for those who left Jamaica and want to share it with their young kids and even to reminsce with family. Miss Lou was the best. May she rest in piece.
Jamaican - Authentic to the core
I bought this album, partially in tribute to Miss Lou and appreciation to a true Jamaican artiste, but also to hold on to a piece of fading culture. Her words are the real thing, this is what "Jamaican" sounds like, the cadence and the flow, the spoken interspersed with the musical. She captures a true slice of Jamaica that both native and non-Ja'can can appreciate.
Love it!!! Yes M'dear gone clear. Jacmandora mi no chose none.
A Must Have For All Jamaicans and Lover of Jamaican Culture
This CD is a must have for all Jamaicans and lovers of Jamaican culture. This CD truly show why Miss Lou (God Bless her soul) is a Jamaica's first cultural icon that paved the way for ska, reggae and dancehall. Listen to the song Street Crie ("Balancee Ohh") and you will realize this probably was the first "dancehall" style lyrics recorded. This is tremendous as Rap music is a child of Jamaican dancehall music. The ring games and songs on the CD brought back vivid memories of Jamaica and Miss's Lou show Ring Ding. No Jamaican home is complete without this recording.
Born Jamaican
The Great Bananaman is an idiot.
He is not a Jamaican in any form or shape, maybe it is Jamaica Queens, USA him come from.
Him neva grow up pan ring ding and them poem Ms Lou would recite.
These are good memories for any good Jamaican who love them culture.
Last comment was offensive to West Indians
As a West Indian I was offended by that last review. The same patois that Miss Lou tells her stories in and sings in is the same patois that Reggae legends Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff and Bob Marley sang in and modern artists, Lady Saw, Sean Paul, Beanie Man and Elephant man chant in. So how can you claim to like reggae and insult Miss Lou. She's preaching about the mother culture that gave birth to Reggae. You can't love the child and kill its mother...that's harsh.
Miss Lou is a Caribbean gem...she is beloved from Jamaica - her home right down to Trinidad.
