No Woman No Cry (Okinawan cover)

A group of musicians from Kumejima (Kume Island), Okinawa, Japan, sing a cover of Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry" in Okinawan dialect as part of a performance in honour of journalists in the 2018 Pacific-Caribbean Journalist Program.

The programme is sponsored by the Tokyo-based foundation the Association for Promotion of International Cooperation (APIC) and the private Foreign Press Center Japan.

During the programme, which ran 20-31 October 2018, among other issues, the journalists were introduced to include Japan’s earthquake and tsunami warning system, how public schools have incorporated into their curricula lessons learned from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, site visits to areas in the Tohoku region that were devastated in 2011 and how they are recovering, and how regional news media covered the disaster and the lessons they learned from that tragedy.
