Después de una vida poniéndole ritmo a clásicos de Bob Marley y Toots & The Maytals, Paul Douglas cuenta por qué muchos músicos de Jamaica "no recibieron suficiente crédito por lo que transpiraron"

[TRANSLATION: After a lifetime of adding rhythm to classics by Bob Marley and Toots & The Maytals, Paul Douglas explains why many Jamaican musicians "didn't receive enough credit for their hard work."]

Earl “Paul” Douglas (born c. 1950) is a Jamaician Grammy Award-winning drummer and percussionist, best known for his work as the drummer, percussionist and bandleader of Toots and the Maytals. His career spans more than five decades as one of reggae's most recorded drummers. Music journalist and reggae historian David Katz wrote, “dependable drummer Paul Douglas played on countless reggae hits.”

In 1972, director Perry Henzell set a gritty crime thriller in Jamaica's exploding, politically charged music scene, and came up with The Harder They Come—the cult-movie spark that started reggae music's slow burn around the world.
