Eye Unit: Happy Birthday Bunji Garlin! (video)

Today is pretty significant for Ian Alvarez, the one they call Black Spaniard. Bunji Garlin turns 30 today! I know the DC posse celebrated his b-day with him about two weeks ago, but this is the actual day.

I forgot to send my greetings in person when I interviewed Garlin for Roamin' TV at Caribbean Wet Fete in BIM two days ago. So, here's my chance. I felt really blessed to be backstage after Fire Fete in St. Vincent when Bunji Garlin pulled everyone together in a huddle to thank God for a successful show, and speak a word of blessing over all of us. So many people believe there is no room for God or faith in our music. Those people are so wrong.

So Ian, all the best on your special day! Continue to commit yourself to excellence in your craft...and more importantly, keep being a decent person. Seems like you've got things to celebrate at every turn.

So count those blessings! No doubt there will be many more.

Love and Soca,

Nurse Karen


By the way, I borrowed a little clip from Bunji's interview on Hot 97 SVG before Fire Fete (one of the wildest shows I've ever been to) The interviewer is the DJ / radio personality / artiste, Top Notch Swift. Thanks to Hitman for the clip. Check it out!
