The former lead singer and songwriter of the group, Culture, died at age 57 after collapsing in Germany. The power of Hill's message continues to reach fans, mainly through reissued albums and his son Kenyatta, who has taken up his father's mantle since his death. Kenyatta Hill's latest album, Live On: Tribute to Culture, was released in March digitally by Zojak Worldwide. It was produced by Dean Pond, who has worked with many reggae artistes going back to the late 1970s. Live On contains Kenyatta Hill's interpretation of several of Culture's biggest hits including the immortal Two Sevens Clash andInternational Herbsman. Kenyatta Hill was his father's sound engineer on tour. He only took up singing after his father's passing. In a recent interview with The Quad-City Times, the younger Hill spoke about the unenviable task of filling his father's huge shoes. "The fans are like, 'We hear Joseph'. But for me, I'm doing what my dad would have wanted me to do," he said. Born in Linstead, St Catherine, Joseph Hill was a percussionist at Studio One, playing on hit songs like Freddie McKay's Hanging On The Wallbefore forming Culture in the mid-1970s.

The ceremony that took place at the Tryall Golf Hotel in Hanover on August 7 was noted to be an Ethiopian Orthodox Ceremony. In one television interview McDonald said she was baptised in the EOC when she was 16 years old and that she could not imagine doing things any other way.
