Yesterday, Nagarbaul 'James' performed in New York. The entire vicinity of Jamaica's Amazura Hall transformed into a mini Bangladesh. New York security personnel were busy managing the long lines and traffic congestion. I used to dream that artists from our country would create such a stir like their international counterparts, and yesterday, that dream became a reality. I am proud that we have a James. The neighbourhood in New York buzzed with love and admiration. Tears welled up in my eyes; that is my country, my song, our pride, and James. James, you are our pride."
