Maxie Smith (aka Max Romeo, Kingston, 1947) es uno de los vocalistas más respetados del reggae. Pocos cantantes han sabido armonizar con tanta habilidad el fervor religioso del gospel, el desgarro del soul y los lamentos de la gente del ghetto.
Desde sus inicios a finales de los sesenta, ha publicado alrededor de diecisiete álbumes pero tan sólo por uno de sus tempranos éxitos, “Wet Dream”, merece figurar en letras de oro entre los artistas que han popularizado la música jamaicana en el mundo.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
