Since he started Natures Way Entertainment 16 years ago, Garfield Cowan has released compilation albums featuring dancehall music’s elite artistes. His latest project may contain his most successful song to date.

We Won’t be Silent, a provocative track by Kenyan singer Cathy Matete, is from Roots Rock Reggae, a various artistes collection released by Natures Way Entertainment last January. Inspired by a controversial incident in her country, it has earned her a Reggae Artiste Of The Year nomination at the August 7-8 Basadi In Music Awards in Johannesburg, South Africa.

This is big news for the South Florida-based Cowan, who is from Clarendon.
