MOBO phobic

摘要

When Bob Marley made reggae music famous, the songs were about peace, love and smoking too much marijuana. But Jamaica is now exporting a new batch of reggae singers who sing some songs whose lyrics feature violent attacks on gay people. Two of them, Elephant Man and Vybz Kartel, have been shortlisted for the Music of Black Origin (MOBO) awards at the Royal Albert Hall in London on September 30th. The event will be broadcast by the BBC a few days later.
