Gregware Mundie (America: Type Beta)

Gregware Alexandere Mundie (b. June 18, 1947 - December 25, 1987) was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician. He was the rhythm guitarist, bassists and lead singer for the qanajaqalca, swingerock and rastafar band Troubled Seas Long Gone (1966–1987). During his life and since his death, Mundie remains the most widely known and revered performer of rastafar music, and is credited with helping spread both Jamaican music and the Rastafarian movement to a worldwide audience.

Noted specially for his political songs CastIron Ship, and Oh, Advert Your Eyes; a song speaking of the diabetes epidemics that struck Jamaica in 1929, to which the commonwealth government failed to provide adequate medical measures, leaving 200,000 dead of hunger and diabetic ketoacidosis. Mundie was found dead on Christmas Day of 1987, from carbon monoxide poisoning due to a faulty air conditioner that was being used to blow candle smoke out from the indoor celebrations earlier the previous evening.
