No Woman No Cry- Bob Marley

Ah Bob Marley. How fortunate we are that he walked the earth. I was strengthened during my pregnancy listening to this song, and continue to be inspired, soothed, and motivated by Bob's music. I grew up in a home where Bob Marley was regularly played along with Peter Tosh, Sparrow, and Caribbean music that is full of rhythm and spice. As a child I looked forward to Eastern Parkway's Labor Day carnival parade in Brooklyn, NY. There I would see beautiful women dressed in flowing fabric, boa's, and wearing carnival costumes with glittering bodies winding to the steel drums. Men, sharply dressed, in their costumes keeping the beat. Our family would some years look on from the sidewalk, or out from our window at the festivities and floats as they went down the parkway. Gosh I feel sometimes like I am living in a cave in Northern Ca. I cant find a good Roti without sending away for it. Thank goodness for the Malta I can get from Mexican stores. Gracias La Raza.
Now here is Bob Marley
