Universal Youthman? Port Vila 5.8.16

My first exposure to the Wantok Reggae Dub Session

    This is a show of two hours of reggae every weeknight on Buzz FM. 
    I thought the show was presented by a deep-voiced Jamaican. He has a Jamaican accent and uses phrases like "mek this one mash up your head" and "dis one yah a boom shot". According to my sources, however, DJ Saipresz is 100% ni-Vanuatu. I look forward to meeting the man in the mirror shades!
