For this week's jukebox theme of Markets and Fairs, here's a traditional Jamaican mento, "Linstead Market". Sung by Louise Bennett, known professionally as Miss Lou. The singer laments her failure to sell her ackee fruit, on a disappointing Saturday night at the market. "Carry mi ackee, go to Linstead Market, Not a quattie worth sell, Carry me ackee, go to Linstead Market, Not a quattie worth sell. Lawd what a night, not a bite, What a Saturday night. Lawd what a night, not a bite, What a Saturday night." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICstpeu4Oes #JukeboxFridayNight #MarketsAndFairs
