These two songs were introduced into Zimbabwe by the late Reggae DJ Dennis Wilson. McGregor will be on Classic263 FM on Sunday from 12 noon.
Di Captain as he is affectionately called by Reggae fans, recently received yet another accolade when he was formally recognized by the city of Hartford in Connecticut as Freddie McGregor Day.
Speaking from his base in Jamaica, McGregor said: “I’m super excited to be interviewed by The Reggae General Terrence Mapurisana on Classic263 this coming Sunday in Zimbabwe. You know how much I love Zimbabwe, its my second home. I also have a message for the youths and I will be talking about my new musical project as well.”
