Remake the World: Jimmy Cliff & Arturo O'Farrill
We travel to Jamaica and Cuba, with connections in NYC and New Orleans. Singer Jimmy Cliff is the global reggae star whose career was launched a half-century ago by the iconic film and soundtrack, The Harder They Come. We talk with him about his start in the early days of Jamaican recorded music and his work to make the world a better place for everyone. Then bandleader and pianist Arturo O’Farrill shares his family heritage in Afro-Latin jazz and a recent project playing music of all kinds on the US side of the Mexican border at the Fandango at the Wall. Plus music from around the Caribbean and Gulf South with Toots and the Maytals, Machito and Big Chief Donald Harrison Jr.
