Garnet Silk: The Messenger, the Martyr, the Voice of a Nation
On a warm Jamaican night in December 1994, a house went up in flames in Mandeville. Inside that house were two souls — one an elder, Etiga Dulcie Grey, and the other, a son, a prophet, a beloved voice of a generation: Garnet Silk. The world lost more than just a singer that night. It lost a man sent to heal, to uplift, to guide. It lost a voice that could cradle sorrow and summon joy in the same breath. It lost a light that burned too brightly to last long.
