“If the Cubans are not there, we may not be able to run the service,” he said. “I will prefer to lose my visa than to have 60 poor and working people die.”

And last week, Jamaican Foreign Minister Kamina Johnson Smith told reporters her government views Cuban medics as vital.

“Their presence here is of importance to our healthcare system,” she said. There are 400 Cuban doctors, nurses and medical technicians currently working in the country.

🎶Do you know what it means to have a revolution
And what it takes to make a solution?
Fighting against oppression, ooh-yeah
Battling down depression

...

Are you ready to stand up and fight the right revolution?
Are you ready to stand up and fight it just like soldiers?
Many are called, few are chosen
Many are called, few are chosen🎶

Happy Reggae Month and Blessed Earthstrong to the Crown Prince of Reggae, Dennis Emmanuel Brown CD, who was born on February 1, 1957. We still miss you.

His flourishing career began at age 12 or 13 when he recorded his first hit “No Man Is an Island” for Jamaican record producer Clement Seymour “Coxsone” Dodd.

Right on time for Reggae Month, which is celebrated in Jamaica every February, is “New Reggae documentary premiering at Bronx Music Hall this weekend”, an article by @MiletteMillington.

“The film is about all of the people behind the scenes who created the phenomenon of reggae music, ... and I hope that hearing their stories inspires someone to pick up an instrument and create something the world has never heard before!”

"like a real life version of a spy thriller (art & science history edition)" — comment by Mefi member Ausamor

Kattullus has posted about the mysteries of the portrait of Francis Williams, brilliant Black Jamaican polymath and member of the Newtonian inner circle ... and the painted clues that untangled his life story. Great art sleuthing, and a fascinating tale, then and now.

18th Century portrait of Francis Williams in his study: A historical painting depicts a Black man in 18th-century attire standing in a study or library. He is dressed in a blue coat with yellow trim, white stockings, and black shoes, and is wearing a white wig. The surroundings feature a large bookshelf filled with books, a wooden chair, a table with an open book, his hand lying upon it, a globe, and a celestial globe. A window behind him shows a landscape with a building and trees under a twilight blue sky. The floor is checkered, and a curtain with a intricate tassel hangs to the right.
