BIRTHDAY GREETINGS TO CHARMAINE DACOSTA FORMER MEMBER OF WORL-A-GIRL

Charmaine DaCosta (September 15)

Worl-A-Girl reggae/dancehall group, formed in 1991. Founding vocalists Charmaine (Charmaine DaCosta), Miss Linda (Linda Scott), Sabrina (Sabrina Cohen) and Sensi (Angela Wilks) released their first album in 1994. The group is perhaps best known for the single Jamaican Bobsledding Chant from the soundtrack for the movie Cool Runnings.

• Worl-A-Girl (1994)
• No Gunshot (single; 1994)
• No Woman No Cry (single; 1995)
• Party (2000)

Charmaine left the group in 1995 to pursue a solo career as a gospel singer. She has turned in her dancehall boots and has produced a Christian CD that is to be lauded both in terms of content and quality. A Prayer is another great piece of written work from Charmaine DaCosta who believes her mission is to encourage those in need of a little love, compassion, and someone to say “I know what you are going through.” Women will love this CD as there are so many songs that touch on their issue with the world and their faith. Christian singles will particularly identify with “Do You Know”. Ever found it difficult to pray? Then “This Letter” is just for you; feel isolated? “God in me” is the ticket. Since A Prayer’s release in February, Charmaine has been doing promotional dates in New York but is getting ready to go into high gear for the fall with appearances planned in Jamaica, Florida and the Northeast United States.

On this day (September 15) we wish Charmain DaCosta a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
