Joseph Hill from band Culture dies
August 22nd 2006 13:32
I was doing my regular surf of the Trojan Records site and discovered that Joseph Hill from the band Culture died recently. He was only 57 and like many of the Jamaican artists who have sadly died recently, he was on tour. He was in Berlin with the band when he died and consequently Culture’s tour has been cancelled.
Believe it or not, Culture released 26 albums of material, a feat that receives much respect from many directions. Although 57 isn’t young, I feel myself saying that yet again that a Jamaican has died prematurely. A shame.
According to Culture’s official website - http://www.culturereggae.net/, Joseph Hill had recently been inducted into the Jamaican Reggae Hall of Fame. The band had produced records with names such as Joe Gibbs and Sonia Pottinger.
Condolences go out to his family and if the band get together with Joseph son, Kenyatta then I urge you to go catch them.
