Gus Chin

Gus grew up in Kingston, Jamaica. Some favorite songs in his youth included Israelites and Shanty Town by Desmond Dekker and The Aces. He also enjoyed the music of The Dragonaires and The Skatalites. Of his favorite music he said, "It was played quite regularly, especially in the heart of downtown, in the Kingston business district. You had a lot of little shops and bars that had jukeboxes, that would be open and played [the ska] from mid morning till late midnight."
