Music Monday: Hi Life Connection
Hi Life Connection's No Way was recorded in Turin and is a slice of Italian-style reggae. But a key figure in the band is Marlon Mansano, who works as Transport Officer for Lewisham Hospital, arranging to get patients to and from their hospital visits (see Lewisham Health, Winter 2011). Marlon also helps run internet radio stations Urban Noize and DnBnoize.

Oh and his dad was reggae producer 'Joe The Boss' Mansano , who had a record shop in Granville Arcade, Brixton
Great Marlon and Hi Life Connection!
