Cuba's 2009 Concert for Peace

Over 1 million people decended into central Havanna, this weekend for the largest open-air concert since the 1959 revolution to send a message of “peace without boarders”.  The concert held in Revolution Square featured some of Latin America’s best known stars.  The concert was organized by Colombian singer Juanes.  I don’t know about you but when 1 million people get together, it sends a very clear message.  In the end, maybe there will be a fresh new perspective will sail in and bring people back together.

Shot in the gritty streets of Kingston, the movie starred reggae singer Jimmy Cliff as Ivan, a boy from the country who comes to the city with dreams of making it big as a singer but doesn’t quiete reach is goal as he dies in the end. It became an international cult classic and introduced reggae music to the world before Bob Marley became a household name. But outside of that Trevor Rhone, made a mark, a very clear mark. Mr. Rhone’s pays such as “Smile Orange” and “Old Story Time” help to pioneer Jamaica’s local theatre scene.   A pioneer of the arts and dedicated to sustaining Jamaica’s important indiginous theatre, Mr. Rhone will be missed.  Trevor Rhone dead at 69.
