When we talk about music, we always play the singers as the main protagonist, however each rhythm has more characters to thank for its rise, such is the case of Reggae, many talk about Bob Marley "singer", Peter Tosh "singer", Jimmy Cliff, among others. For this reason, I asked myself, haven't there been other characters that have given the impulse to this genre, well, if there are, and they are not singers.

Dean Fraser of Kingston, is one of the main saxophonist of Reggae music, who together with Tony Greene gave birth to the Lloyd Parks We The People Band of Dennis Brown, from there many have been the successes that Fraser has achieved within the music of the Caribbean, there are more than fifteen albums produced that support his prestige in the world, among them, the interpretation of Dean Plays Bob, volumes I and II in 1994 and 96 respectively).

Fraser, manages to give personality with his quality and style to the saxophone, for that reason, he was awarded in 1993 with the Musgrave Medal.

When Fraser plays the Saxophone, it is like receiving the wind, listening to the waves and feeling the soft sands of Mallard, the feelings come out and calm takes place in the soul, everything is transformed. Listening to his saxophone is like moving into a serene world, a sensation that activates my creativity and makes me go to splendid places, an effect that remains even after I have stopped playing.

Here is an interpretation of this great saxophone player.
