Maxi Priest
British reggae vocalist Maxi Priest has relocated to Jamaica for the last couple of months and he has used the hiatus to make a lot of new music, a new album called
United State of Mind, to shoot music videos and an upcoming Netflix documentary.
“There are so many things to do with the Internet, so I have been able to focus on business, to understand the things I have accumulated, and sort out my house. Black people are resilient, we will get through this, we have always had curve balls thrown at us, especially in England, and this is just another curve ball,” Maxi Priest said.

Dennis said there was never an intent to have Tobago s usual type of Carnival as covid19 would not allow it.

The impact of no mas not only dulled the enthusiasm of the local population but left those in the diaspora out in the cold and denied them their annual pilgrimage to bask in two epic days of revelry in the burning sun.
But just as the people of this small country created the steel pan, the only musical instrument developed in the 20th century, these innovative people found ways to celebrate Carnival within the covid19 desert.
