Europe Books had the pleasure of interviewing the author Derrick Wallace, to get to know him better, how he chose the title of his book Manz Dem, as well as what it was like to work on this musical project with other 15 important guitarists. You may have heard them playing on your favourite albums, cd’s, films or games; but you were totally unaware of who or what they are.

The message I wanted to send out to the reader is this: We have some wonderful guitarists /musicians right here in the United Kingdom. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I mean one minute I’m watching them perform brilliantly on national television with some of the world’s leading artistes; at the most prestigious award ceremonies and concert venues; and in the next breath we are speaking like long lost pals even though I have just met them. Actually, the book was ‘always there’, notwithstanding the global pandemic of 2020 provided the momentum to get started.

Here are 15 of the most important African/Caribbean/Duel Heritage guitarists in a generation, and I have full access to their life. Manz Dem is a musical project carried out by 15 of the most important African/Caribbean/Duel Heritage guitarists. People with no cultural affiliation or connection with the African or Caribbean landscape are drawn to their way of communication, dress code, fashion statements, foods, and entertainment, music; the whole nine yards. I wanted a title that would stand out on the shelf, equally important a title that would be a unifier for the artistes portrayed in the book.One of the greatest successes I have witnessed is a musician from the UK African/Caribbean/Duel Heritage community who took it upon himself to leave Great Britain for The United States of America.
