Gramps: Yeah-man! Always a check out what’s going on on the ‘Net you-know? Afiwi: What makes Afiwi in your perspective very interesting and appealing? Gramps: Because it’s a website that’s not only for Reggae music, but Caribbean music. It gives people a chance to check out what’s going on on our culture and our music as a people ; as Caribbean children of the diaspora. So it’s a good thing when we can tune in and get information on a whole bunch of different things. So we can feel like “A-fe-wi”! Afiwi: (laughs) Well “A-fe-you” (its for you) for true! Because “A-fe-wi” bredren for true! Gramps: Truly Afiwi: True true. So the family and everybody’s doing fine. What is the family doing right now, as far as current plans for 2002? Gramps: What’s planned is that we’re working on the new album in the studio right now. It’s about 70% complete. What we’re getting ready to release in the next couple of weeks is “Morgan Heritage Family & Friends Volume 3”; which you know, Volume One was released 2 years ago with Capleton “Jah Jah City” which was also on his album; “Liberation”, “Never” by LMS. Songsby Bushman, Jah Cure. Volume Two had Buju Banton, Anthony B, Jah Mason, and a lot of new talent that we’re always trying to expose. So now we have Volume Three coming out featuring Beres Hammond, Luciano, Morgan Heritage, Everton Blender, Ultimate Shines. A whole bunch of new artists as well again LMS. It’s going to be a great CD though, it’s gonna be a double CD. So Volume Three is on its way. We’re also working on a project called “Shashamane City”, which is a CD that we released with the Ethiopian World Federation and the Ethiopian Orthodox Coptic Church of North and South America, that is on the streets right now. You can get it now, it’s available to the public. That’s to raise money for the development of Shashamane in Ethiopia, a land that has been granted by His Imperial Majesty to the children of the diaspora. Afiwi: Rastafari!
