Mawga Don rebuilds life through music after Hurricane Melissa

There were clear skies as Adrian Daley returned to St Elizabeth last Tuesday after a recording session in Kingston. Approximately one year ago, the singer faced an entirely different scenario.

Daley, known as Mawga Don, was preparing for Hurricane Melissa’s onslaught. The category five system made landfall in Jamaica on October 28, decimating his home parish.

He is from Whitehall, a district 10 miles from Black River, St Elizabeth’s chief town. Daley, who is paralysed from the waist down, saw out the storm with his 71 year-old father who is blind.
