Alvaranga

For more information and contribution to the Thanksgiving Service  for Ras Alvaranga kindly contact Sis. Michelle Alvaranga: Tel. # 876-806-5951

FILMORE Alvaranga, a respected elder in the Rastafarian movement and founding member of the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari, died September 25 in Kingston. He was 91 yearsold.

His daughter, Michele Alvaranga, told the Jamaica Observer that her father died while on the way to the Kingston Public Hospital. He had been suffering from the flu for three days and was seeking medical treatment.

Raised in east Kingston, Alvaranga was a committed Rastafarian for over 70 years. In a 1998 interview with the Observer, he said the work of Rasta pioneer Leonard Howell and Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I inspired him to accept the Rastafarian faith.

Along with Oswald ‘Count Ossie’ Williams, Alvaranga started a cultural drum group in the east Kingston community of McGregor Gully in 1944. That group eventually became Count Ossie and the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari, one of the most influential groups in Jamaican music.

Their informal jam sessions in nearby Wareika Hills in the early 1950s attracted the country’s top musicians including saxophonist Tommy McCook and trombonist Don Drummond, both future members of the Skatalites band.

The Mystic Revelation of Rastafari backed the Ffolkes Brothers on the 1959 hit song, Oh Carolina, produced by Prince Buster. Count Ossie died in an auto accident in Kingston in 1976.

In 1961, Alvaranga was part of a government-funded, fact-finding mission to Africa. The group, which also included Rasta elder Mortimo Planno, visited five countries including Ethiopia where they met with Selassie.

Lance HoShing, a member of the Rastafarian community, said the diminutive Alvaranga was a cultural giant.

“He set the full foundation for reparation and repatriation. The work of Filmore Alvaranga should be recorded for the younger generation to learn,” HoShing said.

Michele Alvaranga said her father’s spirituality never waned.

“He loved to talk about the Bible, culture, Rastafari,” she stated.

Alvaranga received the Prime Minister’s Award in 1983 and the Order of Distinction in 2009.

Filmore Alvaranga is survived by his wife Eulalee Brown-Alvaranga, five daughters, eight grandchildren and two

great-grandchildren.

————————————

The Rastafari Millennium Council (RMC) salutes the life works of a great Warrior of the Rastafari Community! Dejazmach Filmore Alvaranga was a key member of the Mission to Africa in 1961 and 1965 along with Brother Douglas Mack, Ras Mortimo Planno and Sam Clayton. He now trods with our Rastafari Ancestors in Zion. His Thanksgiving Service will be on Monday, November 3rd 2014 at the University Chapel on the Mona Campus at  10:00 am. Condolences go out to his immediate family in their moment of grief.

 

The RMC must also acknowledge the recent transitioning of our Rastafari Ancients:

  • Bongo Daniel from the Scott’s Pass Nyahbinghi Centre
  • Ras Seymour Mclean from England. 
  • John Holt, Reggae Legend

The Rastafari Community is being challenged  by the swift passing of our Ancients.  They will be greatly missed!!! Our efforts to maintain their works must be redoubled.

FORESTRY – ARBOUR DAY
July 19, 1958

This is the third occasion on which We celebrate Arbour Day. As We have stated on previous occasions, the main objective of the development programme which We have adopted for the welfare of Our people is to preserve and augment the wealth derived from our land, and, agriculture being the basis of our economy, to increase the yield of Our soil through maximum utilization.

The forest resources of Our Empire constitute one of the most important elements of the wealth of Our land.

As we drive 15 miles to get to a FREE beach, we pass amazing views blocked by all-inclusive hotels and mansions along the coastline. Tall walls and fences keep out the locals from taking a moment to fulljoy nature with their families and to relieve stress. Who owns the seaside, beaches, mountains, and streams? Was it not given by the Divine as INI inheritance?rastafari #rastafaritv #humanrightsviolation #nativeland #freeland #ancestorland #digenous #restoration #ancientofdays ... See MoreSee Less

This is Fire Lion a real fyah artist and masseuse at the mineral spa or spring at Bath in the parish of St. Thomas. The sulfur springs is 130 degrees Fahrenheit hot. It was discovered by a run-a-way slave in the 1690s. When he discovered that the water of the mineral spring had healed the wounds that had plagued him for years, he decided to brave the wrath of his master to tell him the good news.

Beyond the tales of Pilgrims and their bountiful harvest lies a narrative that often goes untold — the story of the indigenous people who inhabited this land long before the Mayflower made its historic voyage. It is a story of survival, strength, and the enduring spirit of Native American communities who faced immense challenges, including the devastating impacts of colonization.
