This is a nice letter I received
that I thought others in RMR might like to see. I've put this and a little mini
review of bands from S. America on my web
page.

Dear Bush
Doktor:
Reggae is the remedy
for all kinds of illness, so we cure people with riddim, drum & bass,
ya'know.
Down here in Chile,
South America, the Reggae vibe has been growing along the Rasta vibe, as most
people know only Bob Marley. But as things change by the minute, thanks to
artists like Inner Circle, Pato Banton, El General, Los Pericos and Apache
Indian, people are getting used to the riddim and the
vibe.
The local scene in
Santiago is small, but most groups make their own music with a few covers, and
there is not one group that plays only covers. There is about a docen groups
that play mostly roots, and a little pop (ub40), but most musicians are Rastas
so the message and the music is strictly roots. Most groups have been together
for a year or so, and are semi-pro, but a couple of groups have been around much
longer. Gondwana is perhaps the oldest group alive, and they've been together
for about 4 years.
Rasta in
Chile has had an steady and slow uprising, but there isn't yet an organization
to spread Rasta knowledge in town. Most young people interested in JAH get as
much knowledge they can from the muzik. But,as always, we are working to gather
all Rastas together,get to know each other, and start some sort of cultural
organization to spread the teachings of Haile Sallassie I, and specialy, the
concept of I&I.
We have
access to muzik from Chile and other Countries in South America, so if Bush
Doktor is interested, please let I know. I&I come forward again soon. 'till
then JAH bless and guide and protect.

lead"
