For The Love Of Reggae (by Jamaica Gleaner)

EVERYONE CALLS him Sherkhan, like the villainous tiger in the classic children’s story The Jungle Book.

But the France native gives his birth name, for formality sake, as Romain Chiffre.

Chiffre named his two favourite artistes as Ella Fitzgerald and Sizzla Kalonji. “I mean, Ella died. It was just Sizzla left,” he laughed. This was the reason he gave for his subsequent immersion in Jamaican culture. Though he didn’t understand what he was hearing, he was hooked on Sizzla’s music.
